Impeccably Renovated Charmer in River Park! This one is truly something special. Nestled in the heart of River Park—a neighborhood known for its community pride and close proximity to schools, colleges, Potawatomi Zoo, and more—this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is a rare blend of historic character and modern precision. Lovingly owned and meticulously maintained, the home has been taken down to the studs and rebuilt with quality in mind. Amazing enclosed front porch is the ideal place to unwind, read a book, and watch the world go by. With 9'+ ceilings (nearly unheard of for this area), custom Craftsman-style window trim, and engineered hardwood throughout the main level, every inch radiates thoughtfulness. The kitchen and living room were fully remodeled in 2022, with sleek finishes and a smart layout. The bathroom just underwent a top-to-bottom remodel in 2025 and features marble flooring. The list of upgrades is extensive: copper plumbing, updated electrical and breaker panel (2021), all new drywall replacing the original plaster/lath, exterior wall insulation, new windows (over the last 16 years), and a newer furnace (2015) and A/C (2024). The basement is finished with an egress window, new carpet (2025), and block windows for efficiency and security. Step outside and summer unfolds: a beautifully private backyard oasis with new sod (2023), an irrigation system, raised garden beds, and a 12x24 pool with new walls, liner (2021), and pump (2024), all surrounded by a spacious deck. The oversized 2-car garage is accessed via the alley for added convenience. This home is not only cute—it’s smartly done, from the gutter guards with a lifetime transferable warranty to the custom window treatments throughout. It’s proof that smaller homes can be packed with thoughtful luxury and exceptional care. Come feel what pride of ownership really looks like.
