Imagine morning coffee on your covered front porch right across the street from quaint Triangle Park. Perfectly situated for convenience, this home is minutes from restaurants, outdoor activities and shopping at Towers Mall, Downtown Roanoke, Grandin Village, and all that Wasena Park has to offer. You'll love the abundance of natural light reflecting off the gleaming, newly refinished wood floors. Nearly every surface (walls, doors, trim, ceilings) have fresh paint, with new LVP flooring in kitchen and bathrooms. Entry level laundry, full bath, kitchen, living area and potential fourth bedroom offer convenient one-level living. One split system for cooling. Three large bedrooms (with surprisingly roomy closets for a 1925 build) and a newly outfitted full bath round out the upper level. Bedroom 4 on the main level is a versatile space that can also be used as a dining room, office or another living room area. The updated kitchen comes with a brand new gas range, microwave and dishwasher. The basement is clean and newly painted. Enjoy entertaining in or outside while the kids and dogs play in a fully fenced yard. A bonus accessibility feature is the ramp leading to back deck and rear entry to home. Priced below appraisal!
