This home is fantastic! Classic Craftsman bungalow in a beautiful Merriam Park location, showcasing beautiful original exterior details and timeless interior character. Generous room sizes and abundant living space create a comfortable and inviting feel throughout. A welcoming front porch leads into a spacious foyer, opening to a sun-filled sunroom and living room with fireplace. The formal dining room features a coffered ceiling, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The main level also includes a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom.
Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms, providing flexible space for guests, office, or retreat. The family room includes a wet bar, and the home offers excellent storage throughout.
Proudly owned by the same owner for over 50 years, this home has been well cared for and presents a wonderful opportunity for its next chapter—ready for a new owner to bring their vision and make it their own. Key updates include a partially drain-tiled basement, newer boiler, newer roof, and mini-split air conditioning. Set on a deep lot with a large yard and detached oversized two-car garage, this home combines classic charm with important improvements in a highly desirable location close to parks, shopping, and everyday conveniences.
