About 12 N Reed Avenue

Step back in time and experience the charm of a historic, tree-lined street in the heart of Midtown. Built in 1912, this distinctive cottage reflects the character and craftsmanship of a bygone era while offering inviting spaces for today's lifestyle. The expansive front porch welcomes you home and provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the neighborhood. Inside, the home features high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors throughout, and a fireplace in each room, and plantation shutters throughout. The original coal-burning fireplaces are currently inoperable, but their beautiful surrounds and mantels remain striking architectural features. The spacious living and dining rooms are filled with natural light from an abundance of windows. Down the hallway, three charming bedrooms offer plenty of character, including one with window looking onto the front yard, another with a delightful window seat, and an oversized primary bedroom. The primary bath is quite functional and features two vanities, while the second bath adds vintage appeal with its classic clawfoot tub. The main hallway extends through the home to the den. The galley-style kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with an oversized refrigerator and freezer, gas range, and wine refrigerator, providing excellent storage and functionality. One of the home's most special features is the wonderful screened-in back porch. Designed for entertaining and relaxing, it includes a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, a long cabinet with stone countertop, ample storage, a sink, and a beverage refrigerator. The porch opens to a charming backyard with a storage shed and an alley running behind the property. While the current owners do not use the alley for access, it runs along the rear of the property. Full of character, architectural details, and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, this unique Midtown cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of the area's history.
