I bought this property for the sole purpose of using it as a short term rental. Sadly, when Covid hit all the new construction and gentrification came to a STOP, leaving me no choice but to move in.
This necessarily wasn't a bad thing as it gave me time to live in the house, experience the area, get to know the neighbors & Vine City. PLEASE NOTE, you "WILL" see homeless people as you drive in. Like most places near the city, you will have your share of Homeless People! This has no reflection on my home. Spencer Street NW itself is quiet, lit up and safe.
I have added some extras to the property (alarm system, 3 cameras, two strings of lights, 3 motion lights, a fence out back, expand the deck, add a side door with a side deck and cut out the closets in the bedrooms).
My backyard received a full facelift.
