About this home

Tucked on a quiet block just north of Forest Ave in Beaverdale, this home has real personality and the updates to back it up. Hardwood floors run through the main level living room, which opens to a cozy den with decorative fireplace-a great flex space for an office or sitting room. The galley kitchen has been refreshed with new flooring, backsplash, and granite counters, composite sink, and a Big Chill refrigerator, while the original cabinetry adds to the home's character. Three bedrooms and a fully remodeled bath are upstairs-new tub, glass shower doors, glass block window, quartz vanity. Unfinished basement offers solid storage and laundry. Out back, a fenced stamped concrete courtyard and patio give you a private outdoor space without the yard work. Two car garage. Exterior updates include Hardie board siding, new roof, covered gutters, and rebuilt front porch canopy. Low-maintenance living with a lot of character in a neighborhood that gets it. Call your agent to schedule a tour.
