DRAMATIC PRICE REDUCTION TO $925,000. A time-sensitive seller relocation creates an incredible opportunity for one savvy buyer.

Vintage charm and modern versatility in this lovingly maintained 1892 worker cottage in Hyde Park, owned by the same family for 40 years. Enter through a welcoming foyer on the lower level, featuring a flexible bedroom/office, open-concept laundry area with kitchenette, mechanical room, a newly remodeled full bath with walk-in shower and heated floors, and a second bedroom with backyard access. Upstairs, the first level offers a spacious kitchen with an extended breakfast area under an oversized skylight and a patio door leading to a large wood deck and mature garden. A full bath with soaking tub, bright living room highlighted by a gorgeous fireplace-once wood-burning, now electric, with its original mantel and firebox preserved for historic charm, and a spacious dining room with built-ins complete this floor. The second level includes a vaulted-ceiling primary suite with skylights, walk-in closet, and tandem room with built-ins, plus a second bedroom and updated full bath with walk-in shower.
