Listing details

***Metro Walkable • No HOA • Major Systems Updated • Oversized Lot*** A rare opportunity to own a thoroughly and *properly* upgraded duplex with an oversized yard, that is also a commuter’s dream! This unit was originally intended for owner occupancy, and was gutted and rebuilt from the bones with modern plumbing, electrical, and insulation; major structural improvements, and luxury touches throughout, offering the new owners comfort and maximum peace of mind for decades to come. You will not find another thoroughly updated unit like this in the neighborhood! The main level offers an open floor plan where the living area flows seamless into the kitchen and dining area. Hardwood cabinets with extra built-in storage are complimented by durable granite countertops for a timeless look. Luxury upgrades include crown molding, recessed lights, touch activated faucet, and a French door Bosch refrigerator. Warm Pergo hardwood floors line the main living areas, and a rare main-level powder room adds everyday convenience - an uncommon feature in the neighborhood. Upstairs offers two spacious bedrooms and a tastefully renovated full bath with heated floors, Italian Carrara marble, and a rain shower for a spa-inspired retreat. The partially finished basement provides valuable flex space for a recreation room, home office, gym, or guest area. An egress window brings in natural light, and rough-in plumbing is already in place for a future second full bath and third bedroom. Outside, enjoy a deep, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, pets, or play. A large storage shed with a concrete foundation and electricity offers endless possibilities as a workshop, studio, or hobby space. Improvements to costly structural items include a rebuilt foundation with French drain and waterproofing system, new roof, new windows and doors, new siding, modern plumbing and electrical systems, upgraded breaker panel, and added insulation throughout the entire home.
