It begins and ends with LOCATION! This historic 1926 home is just one block from Forest Hill Park with 105 acres of trails, pickleball courts, a playground and lake. A 10-minute walk takes you to the 42nd Street entrance of the James River Park System and popular Buttermilk Trail. City sidewalks make it easy to visit Laura Lee's, Crossroads, Little Nickel, Stella's, The Veil, or any of the 15+ eating and drinking establishments within one-half mile of your relaxing front porch. Now that you're home, enjoy the classic feel of the living room with gas fireplace and the dining room with French doors and chandelier. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, new SS gas stove and dishwasher, and freshly painted cabinets. The spacious addition, which opens onto a brand new deck, serves well as a 1st level primary suite (en suite bath with glass-walled shower) or family room. At the top of the stairs is an open landing with lots of natural light, a perfect spot for reading, crafts, or games. The primary bedroom opens onto an upper deck overlooking the back yard -- imagine peaceful mornings or evening conversations under the stars. Two more bedrooms and a full bath complete this level. The yard is fully fenced with recent landscaping, and the cement driveway provides ample off-street parking. New furnace and shed (2022), exterior painting (2021), and 1st-level heat pump (2021). Offering historic charm and an unbeatable location, 1302 W 42nd Street is inviting you home!
