5220 Live Oak — 3293 square feet (per appraisal) on 65 x 281 lot (18,265 SF)
1921 Prairie style brick home with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and three living areas on large lot with diving pool and cabana bath.
This one block of Live Oak is in the Swiss Avenue Historic District. SAHD designation protects the architectural integrity of the block from unsympathetic new construction.
Why buy this home? In addition to a charming historic home you get a wonderful lot. You don’t get this size lot in the M Streets or in Munger Place or Junius Heights or Vickery. This lot is more than twice the average lot in those areas. You can get this size lot on Swiss Avenue, but those are $1M. You can always change paint colors or room layouts, but you cannot change your lot size. If you are drawn to the activity of Greenville and Henderson but want a large lot for family or entertaining this is a must see!
