About This Home
As of March 2024This incredible 4-bed, 2.5 bath three-story home charms with historical detail, including hardwood flooring, a two-story entryway, transom windows and detailed wooden mantle around the living room's fireplace. It features a sunroom off the formal dining room, a custom closet in the roomy main bedroom, along with two other bedrooms on the second floor. The third floor includes a large bedroom with two closets and extra room for storage. This sun-drenched home also offers recent updates, including a spacious cook's kitchen with a farmhouse sink, newer roof (2016), HVAC (2021), large cedar deck (2022), water heater and sump pump (2019) and washer/dryer (2018).
Outside, you are greeted by a recently painted, covered front porch and your backyard is a double lot (nearly 1/2 acre, including 1715 7th St) with mature trees, fully fenced in 2018. Plus, there is a two-car garage with alley access.
Located in the vibrant River Bend neighborhood, it is walking distance from the Neal Smith Trail and the North Side Community Recreation Center (coming soon) and is minutes from downtown and the interstate. Any work done on the house may be eligible for help from programs like the Historic Preservation Tax Credit and Neighborhood Finance Corporation.
