Property Description
Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-family home, located on a friendly and quiet, tree-lined street in the highly desirable Edgewater neighborhood. Originally built in 1897, this home seamlessly blends classic architectural charm with modern convenience.

The home boasts modern features like central heat and air, a central humidifier, newer water heater, and 200amp electrical service, providing all the amenities you need for today's lifestyle. The heart of the home, the kitchen, was completely gutted and remodeled in 2018, offering sleek finishes including quartz countertops, upgraded appliances, and ample counter space with breakfast bar for both cooking and entertaining. A dedicated dining room space is a perfect place to gather round for family dinners. The living room has been enhanced with custom shelving and a vintage fireplace, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

A fully finished attic, completed in 2020, offers a tremendous flexible space that can be used for a variety of purposes-whether as a home office, playroom, or creative retreat. The partially finished basement includes a custom live-edge bar, ideal for hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening in as well as custom storage shelving and newer top of the line washer and dryer. The exterior of the home is equally impressive, with a newer front door, roof, siding, a bird bath fountain, and windows that enhance the home's curb appeal. A charming front porch welcomes you to the home, while the large, fully cedar-fenced backyard offers privacy and tranquility. Professionally landscaped, the front and back yards include raised vegetable garden beds for those who love to grow their own produce as well as in ground sprinkler system.
