About This Home
As of February 2026Take a look at this surprisingly spacious traditional 4 bedroom home, conveniently resting just four short blocks from Washington Park for over 100 years! This home has such a warm and welcoming feeling as soon as you enter with its refinished hardwood flooring spanning the front foyer, living and dining room spaces. Tall ceilings and an abundance of natural light lend to that feeling of a comfortable home. The Kitchen has seen a complete overhaul with refaced cabinets, new counter tops, sink, faucet and tile floors. Accompanying the cosmetic upgrades is the original build charm of built in dining room shelving.storage. Many of the big ticket items have been taken off the list of needs! Roof replaced in 2013, windows in 2014, Furnace in 2021, Water Heater in 2023. Updated paint and some fixtures, bathroom flooring/vanity upgrades, and more! There is plenty of room for the family to stretch their legs, and if there is a need for additional living space, the walk up 3rd story attic could easily be transformed into your private getaway space, kids play room, crafts area, or even just good additional storage. If you want the charm of the old world with the conveniences of modern touches, this is the spot for you!
