816 W VIRGINIA AVENUE

Delightful fetching cottage situated on a huge lot and a half in spectacular Riverside Heights! (75 x 130 lot size - and for those with a calculator that is nearly 1/4 of an acre!) Come and see this 1947 post World War II home in the most sought after area of The Heights! Why you say? Because Mapquest says it's a mere 1.9 easy bike miles to the sparkling Riverwalk! Plus, Riverside Heights is an upscale community tucked up in a cozy bend on the eastern side of the Hillsborough River. The street here is WIDE and paved with the original red bricks from when this community got it's start in the 1920's. It really got into full swing however after World War II and our GI's were coming home and the VA, via the GI Bill, provided home loan guarantees for mortgages to veterans. Back in the day, when a veteran paid off his mortgage, the entire street would have a party! While this history lesson has been pretty cool, let's talk about this darling home! Step inside to a large room with lush views of the spacious back yard. Up into the living room and throughout the house you'll find the ORIGINAL 3/4" PINE FLOORS! The kitchen is newer with granite counters and stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar area.
