The flexible floor plan features a welcoming living room with new gas fireplace insert, formal dining room, spacious family room with French doors to the expansive deck, eat in kitchen with walk in butler's pantry, and a main floor bedroom, office, or bonus room. Upstairs offers 3 spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with updated shower and convenient in suite laundry.
The unfinished 3rd floor/attic with dormer and large window provides exciting potential for future living space, a studio, hobby room, fitness area, or private retreat.
Outside, the oversized lot offers a fenced backyard, expansive deck, mature landscaping, oversized two car garage, and abundant off street parking, a combination that is increasingly difficult to find this close to downtown.
Properties of this caliber rarely become available at this size, location, and price point. Historic character, modern updates, future expansion potential, generous outdoor space, and one of the most desirable locations in St. Joseph combine to create a truly exceptional place to call home!
