1001 James Avenue – Modern Farmhouse Charm, Fully Renovated
Tucked on a quiet street in the vibrant West 7th neighborhood, this 2BR farmhouse blends historic charm with a top-to-bottom renovation. Just steps from Leitner’s Garden Center, with quick access to loads of local restaurants, bike lanes, bus lines, and the interstate, it offers urban convenience in a private setting.
Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully updated. Recent improvements include a new roof and siding (2023), LVP flooring & new carpeting (2025), fully renovated bedrooms and bath, new furnace (2022), AC compressor (2024), hot water heater (2022), sump pump (2025), and fresh paint throughout. A brand-new cedar privacy fence (2023) encloses the backyard, creating an inviting outdoor space. Smart home features such as a garage door opener, security camera, and keyless entry add ease to everyday living.
Inside, crisp white finishes & modern lighting, maximize both style and function. Upstairs bedrooms feature new carpet, ceiling fans with remotes, and custom touches. The oversized 2-car garage & clean, unfinished cellar offers storage space rare for a home of this size.
With its complete renovation, private setting, and modern conveniences, this is a turnkey home where everything has been done for you—ready to enjoy from day one.
