About This Home
Welcome to this charming Union Park Home with original character and modern updates! You'll fall in love with the restored original woodwork and stunning hardwood floors throughout the main living areas. Enjoy your morning coffee or unwind after a long day in the spacious enclosed front porch, a perfect spot to relax. As you step inside, you're greeted by an elegant staircase, a cosy sitting area that could double as a home office, and a welcoming living room. The formal dining room is ideal for hosting family dinners, with lovely views of the backyard and direct access to the beautifully updated kitchen. Behind the kitchen, you'll find a space that is perfect for a coffee bar, pantry, or even a mudroom with additional storage a few steps down. You'll never run out of cupboard space in this kitchen, complete with updated stainless steel appliances, all of which stay! Upstairs, the home offers two generously sized bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, and a full bathroom. Storage is abundant throughout. Outside, you'll find a private fenced-in area that's perfect for pets, a swing set that's included, and ample space to build a large garage if desired.
