Imagine your mornings starting with coffee in the three-season room, afternoon dinner parties spilling onto the huge deck, and evenings spent on Ingersoll Avenue, sampling restaurants or enjoying the nightlife. That's life at 707 35th Street — a classic 1925 two-story in the heart of North of Grand. Step through the front door and the floor plan unfolds exactly as you'd hope: a classic hardwood staircase greets you, with the living room — anchored by a wood-burning fireplace — on your right, and a generous dining room on your left.

From the living room, the three-season room extends your space even further, giving you a flexible spot to lounge, entertain, or just breathe. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is genuinely impressive — large enough for a full bedroom set AND a sitting area, a rarity at this price point.
