This is a shotgun style home which means that you enter through the enclosed porch area into the living room & the home goes straight back with no halls & an open bedroom area in between. Very typical of the age & style of this Schnitzelberg neighborhood. It is on street parking & most times parking close to the home is no problem.

Please be aware that 2 cats live on my side of the house, for those of you with allergies, but they won't have access to your space when you’re there.
