About This Property

Fine example of a Jenks built, much loved family home in Robbins Park just waiting for your imagination and updates. This large home on an over sized corner lot has many original features including hardwood floors throughout and generous sized rooms. There is a spacious eating area in the kitchen and the dining room has a built in china cabinet for more formal gatherings. The front to back living room has a fireplace and windows on three sides to let in the light at all times of day. There are four spacious bedrooms upstairs, one with a cedar closet, and the family bathroom. The house was built with extra large windows for lots of light. The basement is unfinished with exterior access via a bulkhead and there is a two car garage with direct access to the house. The house needs updates but what a gem in a wonderful family neighborhood close to many amenities including the new Bruce Freeman Rail Trail right down the street. There is also membership available to the neighborhood pool.
