Vintage Eastside cottage wants $525K

Built in 1909, this Eastside cutie could hardly be in a better location for those seeking convenience and entertainment within easy reach: It’s tucked into the Holly neighborhood, just south of East Cesar Chavez Street and a few leafy blocks north of the lake.

The vintage cutie was built in 1909 and has been updated throughout. It retains its vintage charm, with new finishes and fixtures that look high-quality, if more than a little bland. The essentials—original hardwood floors, an abundance of natural light—are there, and personal flair could take care of the rest.

The 1,200-square-foot home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Updates include features granite counters, a center island with a cooktop, and updated cabinets in the kitchen. A small office off the master bedroom leads to a deck fenced side and back yards. The corner property also includes a two-car garage and a driveway with a rolling gate.
