About this home

A one-bedroom, one-bath cottage in the Lakewood pocket of Seward Park, on an unusually generous 5,786 sq ft lot with alley access. The big-ticket work is already done: a new roof, an updated electrical panel, double-pane windows and a new deck.

The backyard is the real draw: wide open, with a large deck for dinners outside and plenty of room to garden. Gated off-street parking and a detached one-car garage, ready for a car, a studio or a workshop, round it out. Chuck's Hop Shop, Cafe Vida, Seward Park and the Columbia City business district are all close by.
