2046 Sherwood Ave

Rich with character, one block from Cherokee Park. This early-1900s Highlands home was cared for by an owner with an architectural background, and it shows: natural hardwoods, original detail and none of the cheap flip shortcuts. The lions at the entrance greet you on the way in. Arts critic Dudley Saunders called it home for decades, and in the 1840s Abraham Lincoln handled legal work for Isaac Everett, whose farm later became Sherwood Avenue. Room to grow: the third floor is bonus space with a new 2-ton mini-split and a clawfoot tub room ready for a bath. The walkout basement already has a toilet beside the utility sink. Out back, a nearly quarter-acre lot with a sunny south-facing yard and a driveway through to the alley. In close proximity to Ramsi's and Safai Coffee.
