The house was very clean and comfortable. Convenient location to Short Vine and Italian Village. Three of the bedrooms are upstairs so may be challenging to some. Finding the parking behind the house was very confusing.

JVC

The house was great. They did a wonderful job remodeling the house. Love the old pine floors. In a great location. A short walk down to High Street with plenty of restaurants, shopping, etc, around. Or a short Uber/Lyft ride to any other restaurant or club. Airport is only 10/15 minutes with good traffic.

Why they chose this property

We bought this fixer upper in 2011 and completely renovated the house to the studs. This pre-1890s house is completely new on the inside. Sadly, the only original features of the home that remain are the pine wood floors and fireplaces. Most features of the home were gone before they purchased the home. On the positive side, you enjoy a relatively new home on the inside of a historic one!
