54 Staples Avenue

Built in 1915, 54 Staples is a sweet fixer property flush with period details like board and batten wainscoting, hardwood floors and original five-paneled interior doors. You also get a flexible floor plan with a formal dining room, sunny kitchen and breakfast room plus a substantial deck and south facing back yard. A large bedroom and bathroom complete this floor. Upstairs, two bedrooms sit at the front and back of the house, with big closets and plenty of room to add that second bath. Downstairs a garage runs the full span of the house with plenty of room for your books, bikes, boards and skis. Bordering Glen Park, 54 Staples has conveniences close at hand, from gourmet grocers to family-run diners and cafes. You can also see your tax dollars at work by visiting the Glen Park Library or getting your moments of Zen four blocks away at the Sunnyside Conservatory, where a restored 1902 greenhouse made of redwood and glass sits in the middle of a 100-year-old garden. 54Staples.com
