Where it is
3612 Parkhill St. S.W.
The renovation
Originally built in 1908, this character home has been part of Parkhill even before the community was annexed in 1910. The homeowners have lovingly upkept and maintained the home throughout the years. The home has a new roof with class 4 impact-resistant shingles, new flashing and roof vents, and updated windows. A high-efficiency furnace adds to the home’s overall comfort.
What to love
Step inside to find a space that radiates warmth, character and timeless charm. When you first enter, the enclosed, west-facing porch offers a space where you can enjoy a morning cup of coffee, read a book or just relax. The living room is partly nestled into a cozy nook with an operable wood-burning fireplace.
Dine in the kitchen or take your meal outside as a separate doorway opens up to the private backyard. A spacious side porch can be enjoyed throughout the year or double as convenient seasonal storage. A main-floor laundry and a powder room add further convenience to this home.
Upstairs, the two bedrooms are both airy and bright. The second bedroom has an exposed brick feature pillar and access to the upper-level deck, making it a great option as the primary bedroom.
