Original hardwood floors, original windows, two fireplaces, and remarkable architectural details create warmth and character throughout.

The flexible floor plan offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a dedicated office inside the main home, providing space for everyday living, working, and hosting guests. The spacious primary suite is enhanced by its own fireplace, creating a peaceful retreat. Outside, the generous fenced backyard offers privacy, room to garden or entertain, and convenient alley access. A detached office studio with heating and air conditioning provides exceptional flexibility for a home office, creative studio, fitness space, or hobby room and is not included in the home's heated square footage. Life on Mimosa Place is about more than the home itself. Residents cherish the quiet, tree lined streets, timeless architecture, and welcoming neighborhood atmosphere.
