Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms plus a versatile sunset loft; perfect for an office or reading nook, along with a full bath featuring a classic claw-foot tub. Home has just been professionally painted throughout. Quaint character, mixed with vibrant energy of downtown. Own a piece of DSM history here in Sherman Hill. Offered @ $329,900 thanks!
