About this home
Single Family · Built 1917 · Historic
Completely remodeled from top to bottom in 2025 — this home is truly move-in ready! Nearly everything has been replaced, including the air conditioner, gas furnace, water heater, insulation, roof, windows, siding, plumbing, electrical, all the beautiful finishing touches, and a newly built 28x24 two-car garage. Step inside to a bright, spacious living room that flows seamlessly into the kitchen, featuring granite countertops and under-cabinet lighting. There’s room for a dining table plus seating for two at the peninsula, making it perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the dining area, enjoy the brand-new 12x12 treated wood deck. The primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet and private bath, while a second bedroom and full guest bath complete the main floor. You’ll also love the custom built-in bench with shelving and the convenience of main-floor laundry with a third toilet. Downstairs provides even more living space with a second family room, third bedroom, fourth bathroom, and a generous storage area. New basement windows bring in plenty of natural light. As an added bonus, this is the only home with a driveway located off the alleyway. Don’t miss your opportunity— schedule your showing today! Final grading and seeding of the lawn will be completed by the Seller when weather permits. Listing Agent is related to the Seller.
