About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to 1120 Michigan Ave.! Close to all the action...but not too close. This lovely 1920s Craftsman style university home sits on the edge of Historic Chesterfield neighborhood and has been carefully restored, remodeled, and maintained over the years. It offers buyers a mix of old and new, style and comfort, and big city yet small town vibes. This spacious 3 bedroom home offers 1,876 sq ft of living space on the main and second level. Room sizes are quite generous for an older home. You will find many original features such as some original hardwood flooring, some beautiful original doors, built-ins, fireplace, and several hidden nooks and crannies for storage. What has been updated, has been done tastefully with respect to the architectural style. Like the kitchen with its simple, sophisticated style that blends in nicely with the rest of the home. A sun room on the front of the house and a 3 seasons room at the back of the house allow for sunny spots to relax during warmer months. Speaking of warmer months, picture strolls through campus, to the farmers market, and tailgates with this great location. The lower level has been finished to allow for a large rec room or whatever your additional living needs may be. Furnace, water heater, and roof were replaced within the last ten years. Oversized 1.5 car garage can fit two smaller sedans or one SUV. Please schedule a showing to see this charming home for yourself!
