This Victorian offers a compelling mix of renovated systems, original character, and strong transit-oriented convenience. The renovated island kitchen, formal dining room, office, porch, and fenced yard add practical day-to-day appeal. Its location near the Blue Line, airport, and Constitution Beach may support both owner-occupant and rental-use interest, though short-term rental assumptions should be verified locally. Buyers should also confirm parking details and lot-size reporting, as the listing data and remarks are not fully aligned.

- Airport proximity may mean noise or traffic impacts despite the convenience.
- Lot-size data appears inconsistent: “lot_size
