Open house Wednesday, June 25 from 5:00-6:30 pm. Step into timeless charm at 501 N. Van Buren! This beautifully maintained all-brick home, built in 1949, sits on a spacious double lot and offers the perfect blend of classic character, thoughtful updates, and incredible space—with over 3,700 square feet above grade and nearly 1,800 square feet in the basement. With five bedrooms, this home offers flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. One of the main-level bedrooms is currently used as a laundry room (washer and dryer included), but the laundry could easily be relocated to the basement, restoring the full bedroom count. Original hardwood floors, solid craftsmanship, and natural light shine throughout the main level. The kitchen has been updated and includes all appliances, with a new dishwasher installed in January 2025. The expansive unfinished basement provides tons of storage or the opportunity for future living space. Enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of a screened-in porch, added just four years ago, or relax in the fully fenced backyard with privacy fencing—perfect for entertaining, gardening, or play. The detached garage and shed offer excellent storage, workshop potential, or hobby space. Additional updates include a 7-year-old roof, seamless gutters with gutter guards, newer windows, and attic insulation added approximately 10 years ago. The furnace and AC are 10 years old and have been professionally serviced every six months. A water softener is also included and owned. With its durable brick exterior, vintage charm, modern conveniences, and move-in-ready condition, this home is a rare find with room to grow. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this beautifully preserved gem!
