From the moment you step inside, this charming 1.5-story home has a way of surprising you. Original hardwood floors, built-ins, and arched doorways bring all the character, while a functional layout gives you plenty of room to make it your own. The main level features a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, full bath, and two bedrooms.
Upstairs, knotty pine walls and ceilings create an extra-cozy retreat with two closets, perfect for a primary bedroom, home office or creative space. The partially finished basement adds even more usable space with a comfortable second living or hangout area, plus plenty of storage.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard is ready to be enjoyed, with established perennial gardens, a fire pit, storage shed, and plenty of room for pets, gardening, or summer nights around the fire. An attached one-car garage adds everyday convenience.
This home is an easy walk to Snookies and Perkins Elementary, with all of your favorite Beaverdale and Waveland neighborhood shops and restaurants close by. It's also located within an NFC lending area, giving buyers access to unique financing and renovation loan opportunities.
