Splurge: Willis Avenue Craftsman With Fabulous Deck And Pergola For $665K

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again – location, location, location! This Willis Avenue stunner is everything we love about Vickery Place. It’s on a premier street, has craftsman architecture, and is filled with charm.

What do we love? More like where do we begin? This delightful three-bedroom, three-bathroom looker has curb appeal for days. Blue front porch, check. Vibrant flower beds, check. American flag, check. But what’s even better is what lies inside.
