The Modernized "Guts"
While the soul is historic, the mechanicals are entirely modern. This home has been subjected to a rigorous maintenance schedule to ensure a turn-key experience, starting with a professional roofing system installed in 2016 on the main house, flat sections, and the detached garage. Energy efficiency was prioritized in 2017 and 2018 with new high-efficiency furnaces and water heaters for both levels, followed by the installation of dedicated central A/C systems for both units in 2019. The exterior was further enhanced in 2021 with brand-new, high-quality vinyl siding and professional entry doors, complementing the high-quality vinyl replacement windows found throughout the entire home.
The Grounds
The expansive, fenced-in 0.56-acre grounds feel like a private urban park. The property includes an oversized 2-stall detached garage and a super-clean driveway featuring bonus parking spots--a massive luxury in this high-density neighborhood.
The Opportunity
Whether you envision a generational family estate, a dynamic home office with a completely separate workspace, a lucrative Airbnb in a prime location, or a high-yield investment with zero deferred maintenance, this is the definitive West Side "must-have."
