Description

Beautifully redone 3-bed, 2-bath home near Grandview U! Combine 1906 character (gorgeous wood floors, 9’ ceilings, original trim) with modern convenience (SS appliances, quartz counters, and soft close cabinets). This whole home has been updated with tasteful, high-end finishes and big-ticket items (roof, water heater, HVAC) new in the last few years.
Enter through a 3-season porch to the LR. You’ll notice the open flow, large windows letting in natural light and tall ceilings making the rooms very spacious.
Head to the renovated kitchen with beautiful quartz counters, a good-sized island, new SS appliances, and X-tall upper cabinets perfect for whatever you need. A new 1/2 bath adds convenience and the enclosed porch accesses the large backyard.
Upstairs offers 2 bedrooms with large windows, hardwoods, and ample closet space. The larger bedroom has unique end closets (doors young kids love!) and 3 IKEA Pax wardrobes ready to be customized. The bathroom is new with a 60” quartz double vanity and XL mirror. Tall ceilings and a glass block window make the tub/shower combo big and bright. The large linen closet provides plenty of storage.
There is also a 1st level bedroom, a backyard storage shed, and a dry basement with space for storage and W/D.
This old charmer meets modern farmhouse is just 10 min from downtown in a mature neighborhood on a beautiful street. A good-sized lot and back-alley offer space for a future garage (NFC financing area).
