Previously owner-occupied, this spacious home has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining the charm and warmth of a true residential neighborhood. Located just a few minutes' walk from Fairmount Circle and John Carroll University, the home sits between well-kept garden-style apartments and a beautiful neighborhood of single-family homes offering the best of both convenience and community.
Inside, you'll find beautiful wood flooring throughout, a large and inviting living room, a spacious kitchen, and a bright sunroom that provides an ideal bonus space for relaxing, working from home, or enjoying your morning coffee.
The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, black countertops, a tile backsplash, newer tile flooring, newer appliances, a newer kitchen exhaust fan, dishwasher, and a large sink. Throughout the home, you'll also enjoy modern upgrades including LED lighting, a grounded electrical outlet in every room, a programmable digital thermostat, double-pane windows, and convenient keyless entry with keypad deadbolts.
The home also offers central air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort.
Outside, you'll have access to a shared driveway, your own off-street parking space, and half of the garage with an electric garage door opener. The fenced backyard includes a patio seating area and Weber gas grill, creating a great space to relax or entertain during the warmer months.
The large shared basement provides plenty of additional space, including your own locked private storage area as well as a newer washer and dryer for your convenience.
Location is hard to beat. You'll be close to John Carroll University, Fairmount Circle, Warrensville Center Road, and Fairmount Boulevard, with easy access to Downtown Cleveland, RTA, University Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic, and Case Western Reserve University. Everyday conveniences are also nearby, including Whole Foods, Target, CVS, a coffee shop, restaurants, cleaners, and the beautiful Shaker Lakes.
