2308 E Gum St

This charming all-brick ranch home is perfect for a growing family, offering 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, an oversized 2.5-car garage with a dedicated workspace, and an 850 sq. ft. on the lower level. Step inside to the formal living room featuring built-in shelving, real hardwood floors, deep bay windows, and a wood-burning fireplace. The hardwood flooring continues into the adjoining dining room, which boasts a built-in corner cabinet and elegant French doors leading to a bright and airy 19-ft. garden/sunroom. Crown molding and timeless paint colors add to the home's appeal. Designed for graceful entertaining, the home’s unique double circular floor plan connects the formal and casual living spaces. The open-concept family room and kitchen create a warm gathering space, highlighted by an island bar, skylight, pantry, and brand-new appliances (refrigerator, 2 stoves, 2 microwaves, dishwasher). The family room wows with a classic gas fireplace, custom shelving, and a striking 13-ft. vaulted tray ceiling. Custom-designed tile and hardwood flooring add a touch of sophistication. The flexible bedroom layout allows for multiple configurations—choose four bedrooms and three bathrooms or create a primary suite with two private bathrooms. In 2024, the bedrooms and main bathroom were freshly repainted, lighting was updated, and bathroom plumbing was modernized. The home is equipped with three HVAC units, installed in the last 4.5, 2.5, and 1 years, ensuring comfort year-round (electric heat pump except mini-split in sun room). Additionally, in 2024, a custom-shingled roof was installed, and the exterior trim and fencing were painted. The lower level offers 478 sq. ft. of finished living space with a wet bar, classic knotty pine paneling, and built-in shelving—perfect for an office retreat or game room. An adjacent 370 sq. ft. unfinished utility room houses the laundry area, though a first-floor space off the garage also provides an option for a stacked washer and dryer, doubling as a convenient mudroom. Outside, the lawn and landscaping by Corressel Landscape fills the fenced-in back, front, and side yards. Enjoy the patio, accessible from the sunroom, with views of the perennial gardens. The garage also features backyard access for added convenience. Lovingly maintained by three generations, this home is ready for its next chapter. Nestled in the Boeke/Alvord neighborhood, it’s a rare find that seamless blends classic charm with modern updates.
