About This Home
As of September 2020Welcome to the heart of the city! 1522 W 8th St is a charming victorian style townhome that offers convenience of city life and opportunity! This property is walking distance to Hospitals, Schools, and more! The curb appeal is on point, and so welcoming with the detail in architecture, and the quaint front porch. The view from the front porch is rare, as there are no other homes across the street, just land! This means you have more street parking than most! Inside, you will love the original oak tread staircase, and throughout the living room. The living room has tall ceilings, a gas fireplace, and a fresh coat of paint. The kitchen has brand NEW counter tops, NEW modern shelving, NEW stainless steal commercial range hood, and gas cooking! The dining room is one of my favorite rooms! There is still exposed beams which really gives the home character! The owners relocated the washer and dryer to the main level for convenience (and perfectly located in the mud room). There is also a half bath just off the kitchen! Upstairs, you will find three generous sized bedrooms, closet space, NEW carpet in the third bedroom, and a full bathroom with a fresh RE-GROUT around the bathroom tub. The basement is a great size, while unfinished, there is plenty of potential, and a NEW coat of dry lock (water proofing) walls! The backyard is fenced in and NEW steps off the back door. The sellers have also made roof repairs (shingle replacements) and flashing replacements. If you are looking for a great price in the city, this one is for you! Schedule your tours now!
