Best of all, the home sits directly adjacent to the Building Trades Park, currently undergoing a complete renovation and slated to include a native prairie garden, new playground equipment, pickleball courts, and more! Filled with natural light and located on a quiet street, the house boasts a multitude of recent improvements including: Restoration of original bedroom ceilings and repair of plaster walls; new paint throughout (2022); New ceiling fans and lights throughout; new bedroom carpet (2022); New furnace and central air system, including a Google Nest smart thermostat (2022); All new exterior paint (2022); New ceiling fans (2023); New water heater (2023); All new kitchen and laundry room, including appliances, cabinetry upgrades, laminate countertops, tile flooring, and lighting (2023); All new bathroom, including fixtures, vanity, tile flooring and shower tile, glass shower door, and lighting (2023); New front porch and sidewalk (2024); Fresh landscaping in front yard (2025).
