Units n/a

NEW PRICE!! This house is the perfect blend of classic features & quality updates. It starts with the all-brick exterior & large covered front porch complete with a tiled floor & bead board ceiling. There's a nice 2-car garage & privacy fence in back around the cozy concrete patio. Step inside & the main level dazzles with original SOLID hardwoods under foot. Nice smooth ceilings & crown molding. The living room, anchored by a masonry fireplace with a nice, tiled hearth, flows seamlessly through the arched passage into the HUGE dining room. And it's all connected to the GORGEOUS kitchen. Exposed brick complements the modern amenities including a built-in microwave, TRUE exterior exhaust fan, open shelving, center island & charming shiplap. Loads of cabinetry & countertop space! The primary & 2nd bedrooms are on the main level & both have nice closet space, ceiling fans & natural light. The well-equipped full bathroom for these 2 bedrooms features a raised double vanity, tub & shower combo with tiled walls, rainforest shower, built-in shelving, stylish tiled floor, and tasteful lights between the 2 arched mirrors. The main level also includes a versatile office, ceiling fans in both bedrooms, and a mudroom-style area off the kitchen with a bench & hooks. Ascend the gradual, wood staircase to discover the cheery upper level with its expansive loft including a built-in daybed nook, more cool shiplap walls, metal railing & recessed lighting... AND its own independent 2nd HVAC system!! Bedrooms 3 & 4 on this level share a terrific full bath with a raised vanity, shiplap & a walk-in tiled shower. The carpet is fresh! Downstairs the FINISHED basement is stellar! 1/2 bath & large laundry room plus a MAJOR rec/bonus room with daylight windows. Good storage with 2 unfinished rooms & multiple closets. This home enjoys TOPS convenience with the library, Monon Trail, art galleries, eateries & shops all close & catch the Red Line downtown or uptown! Great Opportunity!
