About This Home
Better than new construction-this charming Cape Cod is move-in ready, full of character, and priced under $250K! Step onto the freshly painted front porch and into a home that instantly feels welcoming. Inside, you'll find original arched doorways, hardwood floors tucked under the main-level carpet, and a delightful dining nook bathed in natural light. The updated kitchen and bathrooms blend vintage charm with modern comfort. Two main floor bedrooms and full bath complete the 1st floor. The finished basement adds functional flex space, including a full bath and bonus room-perfect for a guest suite, office, or second living area. Upstairs, a newly carpeted loft offers an ideal primary retreat or cozy hangout-it's the kind of space you'll want to unwind in. The oversized garage is a standout feature, heated and ready for projects, hobbies, or extra storage. Enjoy the large, partially fenced yard with room to garden, play, or entertain. Notable updates include: new plumbing and sewer line(2018), electrical update (2014), sump pump, radon mitigation system (2018), fresh paint, and more. This home has been lovingly cared for-and it shows. Just blocks from downtown DeKalb, parks, shopping, and schools, 904 Shipman Place is the perfect blend of classic style and everyday convenience. The seller says it best: "I wish I could take this home with me."
