Property is move-in ready.
This 1906 Craftsman is well-maintained and move-in ready, featuring desirable updates like French doors in the kitchen and master suite. While the property retains a vintage 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration, the description suggests a functional layout and a high level of upkeep consistent with a 'good' rating for a historic home that has been thoughtfully preserved rather than fully modernized.
Middle School: Piedmont Middle School (9/10). High School: Piedmont High School (10/10).
Situated in the heart of the highly coveted Piedmont Avenue neighborhood, the property offers exceptional walkability to popular local cafes, boutiques, and dining destinations.

With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the property may pose a functional challenge for larger households or buyers expecting a higher bed-to-bath ratio.
While the property is near a well-rated high school, the assigned elementary school currently holds a low rating, which may be a concern for education-focused families.
