At 1242 S. Hardy, every update was made with intention—from the fresh, cohesive design to the carefully selected finishes that make the home feel comfortable the moment you walk through the door. It's the kind of renovation that focuses on the details you'll notice every day, not just what's trendy.
Items that have already been addressed for your peace of mind include a new water heater, new plumbing, fresh stain on original floors, and servicing the air conditioner to make sure it is ready to take on this summer heat! You can spend less time worrying about projects and more time making the space your own.
A detached garage, convenient side entrance, and outdoor space add even more flexibility to the property, whether you're hosting friends, working on hobbies, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home.
This isn't just a house that's been updated—it's a home that's been thoughtfully reimagined and is ready for someone new to write its next chapter.
