About This Home

As of February 2023

Very cool character house with a nice surprise. This home sits on Keppel Avenue in West Lawn and has a huge addition. The addition is a large bright family room and a really nice owner's suite with en suite bath. Your visit starts at the cute front porch. You enter into the large living room with gorgeous stone fireplace. The fireplace has gas logs and two nice windows surrounding it. Huge bright dining room with tin ceiling. The home has loads of character and the owner believes there are wood floors under a lot of the carpet. Cute galley kitchen with plenty of cabinet space. There is a convenient and large first floor laundry with plenty of work space and cabinet space. This could also be used as pantry storage space for the kitchen. There is a 3rd full bath on the main floor as well. The rear addition has a family room with beautiful wood flooring, heated floors and ceiling fans. This leads to the rear patio area. It is a cute and private fenced area for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. The second floor has a ton of living space. 3 nice spare bedrooms and a full hall bath. The primary bedroom suite is very nice. It has skylights an abundance of space. The owner's bath is very cute and modern with a tub/shower and double bowl vanity. This home needs updating but you will not find anything like it around. It has so much space. There is a full finished basement with outside entrance. The outside has plenty of off-street parking as well as a large garage. The home is heated with gas and there is a section of the home that has a split system A/C. If you need space you will appreciate this home! Excellent location close to schools and all amenities. Home inspection report is available in MLS Documents. 1-yr Warranty included with acceptable offer.
