Situated on a friendly cul-de-sac, this spacious home offers contemporary convenience in the desirable Historic Southwest neighborhood at the foot of Plummer Hill. Walkable to Soldiers' Field, bike paths, downtown or Saint Mary’s Hospital, this sunny home sparkles with a show-stopping modern kitchen, both formal and informal dining, two fireplaces, freshly updated interiors, and two outdoor decks. This house is turn-key ready for you to make your own.
A distinctive combination, recent updates blend seamlessly with the charm of an historic home, including built-in cabinetry and pristine hardwood flooring throughout. Modern improvements include a new 60-year steel roof, a 7kW solar array that often reduces electric charges to below zero dollars per month, a level 2 electric car charger, new appliances and fixtures, and added insulation. Two additions have added a sunroom with a roof deck and a dream kitchen.
There is space for everyone in this home, with four bedrooms, two and half baths, a living room, dining room, breakfast nook, sunroom, finished play area in the basement, basement pantry/wine cellar, basement laundry, roof deck, patio, insulated attached garage, and nature-filled yard. An established vegetable garden in the back yard and a flower garden out front offer scenic views year-round, and the bounty of two pear trees every summer.
