Step into history with this beautifully renovated 1928 cottage-style home, where thoughtful updates by the last three owners have preserved its charm while adding modern amenities and energy efficiency. As this home approaches its second century, it offers a perfect blend of vintage character and contemporary comfort. Inside, the remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and a 5-burner gas stove with two ovens. In 2021, both bathrooms were updated to provide a luxurious, modern feel while maintaining the home's original style. The primary suite is a large, light-filled room with an attached bath and access to the back deck. The second bedroom is on the first floor and has private access to the hall bathroom, while the second floor provides a loft-style third bedroom and flexible living space. Throughout the home, you'll find hardwood floors (except bathrooms and laundry room), plantation shutters in the living room, recessed lighting in the kitchen and primary bedroom, double-paned windows, and a radiant roof barrier in the attic for improved energy efficiency. In the back, your living space is extended with a xeriscaped yard, built-in gas grill, stone-surround gas fire pit, and ample room to relax or entertain. A detached 2.5-car garage with built-in cabinets sits to the rear of the property behind a wrought iron gate. The home is in a fabulous location to get anywhere in the city by car and within easy walking distance to many great restaurants, including Chris Madrid's, Julia's Bistro & Bar, and Blanco Cafe. It's also within walking distance of several unique furniture, antique, and garden stores. If you enjoy a longer walk, the beautiful Landa library is precisely a mile away, the Pearl district and Woodlawn Lake are within a two-mile radius, and the downtown river walk is approximately three miles away. If you're unfamiliar with the Beacon Hill neighborhood but love old homes with cottage charm, you're in for a treat. There are no HOA fees, but there's a very active volunteer neighborhood association. The neighborhood boasts a community garden, a linear neighborhood park with a playscape and basketball court, and several public art installations. Beacon Hill is in a conservation district that works to maintain the community's integrity and helps limit the number of teardowns but instead, encourages these character homes to be lovingly revitalized, as you'll find at 706 Hollywood.
