Description

Charming house on a great block! Nestled into a great neighborhood with mature trees and a private
fenced back yard with oversized two-car garage yet easily walkable to all at the nightlife, shopping and
fun that the hip West Seventh area has to offer. Public transportation and airport are easily accessible. Larger than it looks, there are 2 bedrooms upstairs including a third room for den, nursery or office and study nook. Two more sunny bedrooms are on the main level. Kitchen and bath are updated and the lower level with high ceilings offers potential for lots more finished space. This is a gem!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from May 06, 2025

    "I've lived in w7th for 6 years in a home and two years in a rental. The people are friendly and look for each other. Homes are affordable especially for all the amenities. Lots of upside here. Only downside is sporadic petty crime but pros way outweigh the cons."

    "I live in an apartment complex, so I am pretty removed from the neighborhood experience. however, the community seems good and I see a lot of people walking and talking to one a other in the neighborhood. There is a few homeless people who follow the railroad tracks and live under the bridge, but they are very kind and I haven't had an issue with any of them. "
