About This Home
Priced to sell at nearly $50,000 below the county appraisal, this well-located home sits less than two blocks from the KU campus in a charming neighborhood. Significant upgrades to the core systems were completed in 2024–2025, including a new sewer line, foundation evaluation and stabilization by a licensed contractor, main-level bathroom renovation, full HVAC servicing and repair, refinishing of all hardwood flooring, fresh interior paint throughout most of the home, and professionally buried and redirected exterior drainage away from the house. Additional highlights include a spacious bonus room above the garage with electricity, a half bathroom (with new toilet), and box A/C—ideal as a workshop, studio, or hangout space. The basement features a primary suite with huge walk-in closet, greenhouse space with skylights, built-in drainage, and water access. Heated floors throughout the basement in the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outside, enjoy a lovely screened-in back porch with stamped concrete—perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
