For Sale by Owner! Open House this weekend!













If you are in the market for a home for you and your family in the Riverside/Avondale area we hope you will consider our home at 2852 Sydney Street.

Low Country Homes built our house in 2005 and we absolutely love it. It has more than 1700 square feet, 3 bedroom, 2 and one half bath, open cooks kitchen huge vaulted ceilings and an urban loft layout all behind a historic craftsman design. Come check out all of the granite, trim work, and hardwood touches. The house is well built and very tight. We've kept it clean as new and haven't even used the fireplace! The lot goes from Sydney Street to Laviere allowing for a spacious back yard and offstreet parking for two.

Our neighborhood is outstanding. The house is just three doors east of home plate at Willowbranch Park. Willowbranch is a great urban park with two ball fields, and active basketball courts, a playground, walking paths with bridges over the branch. Its also adjacent to Willowbranch Library, one of the best in the city. We often walk to the park and library. The library has a great staff and programming including bed time stories in for the kids. If you see us walking in our pjs now you know why. In the fall you are reminded its football season by the Lee High School band which practices in the park. Now we can hear the ding of the bat. Basketball seems to be a year round attraction.

If you have never lived in a walkable neighborhood contemplate walking to almost everything. The Park and King neighborhood is rapidly becoming one of the best entertainment urban areas of the city. Within an easy walk you'll find a ton of restaurants, including Sumo Sushi! Cool Moose Coffee, European Street, City Cycle, Cycledelic Fixity, Universe of Superheroes Comics, tons of antiques. Bars too! And for some crazy reason Kickbacks sports bar is open at 7 am and closes at 3am. Thats 20 hours of lots of beers on tap and food. St Vincent Medical Center is just down the street and there are two drugstores at Park and King. Lots of close really great churches. Walk to the Lutheran Church on the other side of Willowbranch Park to vote!

We are super proud of our house and are showing it Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th from 2pm to 5pm.

We've got a friend in the mortgage business who can still get 100% financing in some scenarios and will have estimated payments based on our price of $368,500 at the open house.

Come see us this weekend!
