House of the week: A historic house on a tree-lined street in Queen Village for $519,995
The third floor of the house has an open floor plan and a walk-out deck.
Mark Worker said his two-bedroom, one-bathroom house in Queen Village has “so much character” and is “close to everything,” with “a true neighborhood feel.”
Probably built in the late 1800s as part of a cluster of homes to house workers for an adjacent factory, it was augmented in the early 2000s by an extension in the rear.
Worker, a software account manager, bought it in 2022 when he was single, but he soon married, and now he and his wife are moving to London for his work.
The house is 1,092 square feet and sits on a tree-lined street in the heart of Queen Village.
It has hardwood floors throughout, all new windows, updated plumbing, a new HVAC system, and a new roof.
The interior has been freshly painted and the bedroom windows let in abundant natural light.
The primary bedroom is on the second floor. A second bedroom, on the third floor, was used as a nursery by previous occupants.
“The third floor is really the best part of the house,” Worker said. It has an open floor plan and is being used as a living room and office, although Worker previously used it as a bedroom.
The deck, just off the third-floor room, was carefully landscaped, with a picnic table and a variety of plants.
The home has an unfinished basement for storage, and a dedicated outdoor space in the rear.
Commuting is easy with ready access to public transportation, I-95.\, and other major highways.
Adjacent landmarks include South Street and Head House Square.
The house is listed by Jay Edwards of OCF Realty for $519,995.
