Shocked by how much prices in Point Breeze have skyrocketed? There is still a handful of affordable renovations out there--but this one's the best, and anything but a quick flip; the seller did all the finish work himself over the course of an entire year. Everything behind the scenes was done: new heater and water heater, all new wiring and PEX and PVC plumbing, a new roof and replacement windows throughout. The cosmetic renovations go way beyond new drywall and throwing in some granite and stainless steel: gorgeous wide-plank maple floors throughout, tray ceilings, recessed lighting, just the right amount of exposed brick, clever storage niches everywhere you turn, an anything-but-cookie-cutter kitchen and a master bedroom with en suite bath. The downstairs is an extra-wide, extra-deep space, with the living room flowing into the kitchen that is so big there are actually two options for a dedicated dining space (plus a breakfast bar!). With custom cabinets galore featuring self-closing drawers; concrete countertops; an amazing farmhouse sink; bottom-freezer French door Samsung fridge; and a five-burner range with sleek stainless range hood flanked by open shelving and Carrera marble mini-subway tile backsplash, this kitchen could easily be in a home five times its price. The rear breakfast nook could also make an awesome home office or craft central. Out back is a good-size patio. Upstairs is the master suite with extra-large walkthrough closet/dressing room ready for customization and en suite bath with stand-up shower; a stylish hall bath with pedestal sink and great custom built-in storage; two more bedrooms; and a closet with hookups for convenient upper-floor laundry. A couple blocks from Wharton Square Park and the farmer's market at 22nd and Tasker, within the coveted delivery area for Kermit's Bake Shoppe and walkable or bikeable to the ever-growing list of popular Point Breeze spots, including American Sardine Bar, Breezy's Cafe and Ultimo Coffee.
