What's special

A rare find in the central Heights, this 2018 renovated three bedroom, two and a half bath home provides living space on the first level and all bedrooms on the second floor. Zoned to Harvard Elementary, the rehab included new plumbing with PEX supply lines, electrical, HVAC/duct work and blown in insulation in the attic. A gracious formal entry leads to the open and bright living/dining areas and kitchen with a breakfast bar and exceptional counter and cabinet space. Upgrades abound with timeless finishes, elegant Visual Comfort lighting and custom window treatments. On the second floor two guest bedrooms share a beautifully finished bath with tub/shower combo. A spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and bath with dual vanity, soaking tub and frameless glass shower. The 6600 sf lot provides a generous landscaped back yard plus a deck and new two car oversized garage (2025). The exterior is freshly painted plus too many additional investments to list (see attachments).
