Welcome to 1223 MacArthur Ave—an exceptionally well-maintained home on a beautifully utilized .34-acre lot in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods. Built in the 1950s, this solid home features a perfectly dry basement with a poured concrete foundation and offers a remarkable combination of comfort, craftsmanship, and quality. Step inside to discover gleaming hardwood maple floors and picture windows that flood the main living area with natural light through the wood framed Anderson windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The adjacent kitchen boasts a 5 burner gas range, labor saving dishwasher, and full-glass patio doors opening onto a spacious backyard deck—perfect for grilling, entertaining, and enjoying summer evenings under the stars. Also on the main floor are two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms, one of which includes its own private bath with a shower and a lovely view of the side yard. Each space has been thoughtfully arranged for both relaxation and functionality. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a gardener’s dream with raised beds along the north fence line and plenty of room to play or unwind. In addition to the attached two-car garage, a second oversized, insulated, and heated garage with alley access features a poured concrete slab with drain, room for a workbench, and ample storage space—ideal for hobbyists, craftspeople, or car enthusiasts. There’s also an exterior parking area large enough for an RV, boat, or trailer. Downstairs, the basement features laundry facilities, a gas forced-air furnace with central air (recently updated), a gas water heater, modernized electrical systems, a cold storage room, and an abundance of open space for storage or future customization. Rarely do homes this well cared for and versatile become available. Whether you’re looking for peaceful living, a place to work on projects, or simply a home that checks all the boxes, 1223 MacArthur Ave is it.
