This home in Land Park is offered as a short sale. It has two very large bedrooms, one of which is a master suite. I suppose if you weren't going to put a ferris wheel in the back yard, it could be possible to add on a new master suite and turn the existing master into a junior suite. Or you could do nothing and simply move in. It's large for a two-bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, with about 1,468 square feet.
It has beautiful hardwood floors throughout, except for the kitchen and baths. You'll find all the delightful touches you've come to love about homes in Land Park. Especially in vintage homes such as this 1938 cottage -- coved ceilings, nooks and crannies, spacious rooms, crown molding and even plantation shutters. There is a quarter basement, too.
The dining room features leaded glass built-ins and a curved window with grids. It seems to have an original chandelier, but the chandelier does not stay. This room serves as the focal point, leading to an oversized hallway on the right and the kitchen is straight ahead.
In the kitchen, you'll see ceramic tiled counters, plenty of cabinets and storage, a built-in electric range, a separate oven and, of course, a dishwasher. There's a door to the basement and another door to the back yard, plus a bank of windows that overlooks the gorgeous yard.
But the piece de resistance is that fabulous yard. First, enjoy the expansive brick patio. It leads from the steps and winds through the covered gazebo-like area to the koi pond and water fountain. Beyond that area you'll delight in finding even more gardens, including a magnificent trumpet vine sporting orange blossoms interwoven through an arched arbor. Plus, there's a detached one-and-one-half-car garage.

That backyard with the Koi pond and the gazebo and the fountain sounds lovely Elizabeth. Very relaxing for the new homeowners.
To get an almost 1/4 lot in Land Park in this price range is very rare, Gary. Already I've had a bunch of calls for this home today, so I hope it attracts a great buyer, too!! The qualified buyer who will wait for short sale approval. That's the kind of buyer we want.
This certainly sounds (and looks) like a great opportunity in a wonderful neighborhood. Best wishes for a quick sale Elizabeth.
Dear Elizabeth,
Started my day with you as Brad Andersohn talked about you on the Zillow webinar and now seeing your smile as I finish my day.
That home looks so peaceful! Hope the sale goes well.
Have a happy day -
Lynn
Cozy looking home Elizabeth! I'm sure home buyers can picture themselves here.
You really used some great photos to highlight this home. Nice Job! It should sell quickly.
