1960s Gem-Close to Downtown & In a Quiet Area

All of the cool cats will hang on the backyard patio for highballs and hula hoop.

This outta site gem will be a place you could call home for years! It's spotless inside and out and the owner has thought of everything you'll need to enjoy your stay from shampoo/conditioner, soaps, lotion & a hair dryer to retro snacks, water, soda & wine.

The quiet neighborhood offers a perfect place to take long walks or you can head down to the Irish District on the corner of E Ave & 16th St. It features 3 bars and two have food. The Tic Toc Restaurant just re-opened (Corner of E Ave and 17th St. NE) Great tenderloins, cheese sticks & onion rings. Or if you want something a little more upscale and fun the New Bo District is just a short 8 -10 minute drive downtown. You'll find, kitschy shops like Raygun , Almost Famous Ice Cream Shop and lots of other places to explore...
