About This Home
As of September 2025Incredible storybook home located just blocks from Forest Hill Park, you’re going to love 118 E 34th ST! Originally renovated in 2015 along with recent updates from the current owner, there’s a nice mix of old world charm and modern upgrades. Inside you’ll find hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and replacement vinyl windows. The living room is quite spacious and boasts terrific natural light. It opens up to a large dining area with a chandelier and two storage closets. Just off the dining room are two sizable bedrooms with ample closet space. They share a hall bath that’s been updated with new tile flooring and a stylish vanity. You’ll love the kitchen with its white cabinets, lots of storage, new tile floor and a new LG fridge. A quick walk around the corner and you’ll find the primary suite nestled in the rear of the home. There you’ll enjoy a spacious walk-in closet, new recessed lighting, and a fully updated ensuite bathroom offering a walk-in shower with on-trend tile surround, a new vanity, and updated flooring. Outdoors you’ll appreciate the off-street parking courtesy of the extended driveway, a partial privacy fence that keeps the patio area feeling secluded, and a big backyard with tons of opportunities to make it your own. If you haven’t checked out Stella’s Grocery, Little Nickel, Veil Brewing Co., or any of the numerous hotspots in the Forest Hill area, then you’re in luck. They’re all nearby which means you’re also just minutes from the river!
