About this home

Beautiful 1905 cottage centrally located in sought-after Hyde Park. The house underwent a thorough renovation between 2010 and 2015, with architectural plans and 21 city inspections. All plumbing, electrical, mechanical, siding and interior walls were replaced. Original trim and fireplace insert were added to with period-correct architectural salvage, including 6 stained-glass and two leaded-glass windows. Completely custom-built open kitchen. A geothermal HVAC system has been reliably heating and cooling the house for the last six years, providing significant energy savings. In the summer the system reheats the tap water with the heat extracted from the house. Solar panels on the south roof provide on average $600 per year in utility savings. The heated bathroom floor does not only look beautifully historic with its hexagonal tiles but feels great in the colder months. A second-floor laundry room makes washing clothes fun. A wood stove in the partially finished basement makes for a toasty man cave in winter. Back yard has grapes, currants, blueberries, black and red raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and elderberry. Front yard features eight different kinds of hostas, including the rare Empress Wu variety. The house has been an income-producing short-term rental, averaging $30k/year revenue with little utility and maintenance cost. New concrete driveway scheduled for Dec. 2nd, weather permitting. All appliances stay.
