About This Home
West-end charm meets thoughtful updates in this 2-story home. The living room features crown molding and built-in bookshelves, creating a warm and inviting space. The updated kitchen includes quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, with a traditional dining area that opens through French doors to the family room. A large picture window overlooks the private, fenced backyard and spacious deck. The full, partially finished basement has been waterproofed and offers flexible space for a playroom, workout area, or additional living use. Recent updates include HVAC and water heater replacement, updated windows, new carpet upstairs, and plank flooring on the lower level. Offering 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, this home sits in the heart of the west end—just minutes from Kiwanis Park and the west-end bike trail connecting Fairview Park to Rock Springs and north to Pershing Road. This is a setting known for spring dog walks, fall color, and neighbors you come to know.
