About this home
1917 Capital Park charmer — fully updated and move-in ready at $204,900.
From the steep gabled roofline and coral front door to the teal-painted sunporch, 1705 E 12th has the kind of personality you don't find in newer builds. And the best part? All the updates are already done.
Step inside to dark hardwood floors flowing through the main level, an open living and dining layout, and a kitchen that's been thoughtfully updated with white shaker cabinets, subway tile backsplash, and a moody green accent wall under a statement chandelier. Exposed original brick between the kitchen and dining area adds warmth and history. A navy geometric accent wall in the half bath that's honestly kind of a vibe.
Upstairs, two bedrooms with those same dark hardwoods — one painted a deep teal, the other a soft gray with tree-line views. The full bath is updated with subway tile surround and a clean white vanity.
Outside is where this property really opens up. The 0.18-acre lot runs deep, with a big raised deck off the kitchen, a fully fenced yard, mature trees, and a detached 2-car garage at the back — already outfitted with a basketball hoop. Dog house stays.
Tucked in Capital Park just north of University, you're 5 minutes to downtown, walking distance to Union Park, and steady access to I-235. Unfinished basement offers 497 sq ft of storage and laundry space.
Turn-key character home at an entry-level price. Come see why this one just hits different....
