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. The spacious patio is perfect for summer barbecues or simply relaxing outdoors. The property also features a fully rebuilt 2-car detached garage, providing both storage and parking. Additional upgrades include a flood and sewage protection tank, as well as updated exterior stairs leading to the basement.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
