Accepted Offer with Contingencies. 2279 Church St NE is a folk Victorian inspired cottage that they don't make anymore. The house has excellent natural light, and the layout gives you options. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 updated baths, plus a loft/office upstairs that’s basically a choose-your-own-adventure space: home office, library, gaming room, hobby headquarters, whatever fits your life. This home has the unexpected with a primary suite with a walk-in closet. The primary bath has a fully tiled shower with a glass door, new vanity, new floors and a new toilet. The second bath keeps the vibe going with new tile, vanity, toilet, and a refinished bathtub.The kitchen was updated previously and has quartz counters. The appliances will stay so you will start with a refrigerator, range, and a washer and dryer all ready in the house. Out back, you get a fully fenced yard with privacy, a big lawn ready for fetch or backyard soccer, a shed for gear, and serious firepit potential for s’mores season.And when you want out of the yard? Highland Park is about 0.3 miles away: pickleball awaits.
