Great new City listing - a classic 6/3/1.0 twin! Pull up to 509 W. 26th Street and you're immediately greeted by the elevated brick planter and inviting front porch. Step in through a new metal front door to a large living room with plenty of natural light. Beyond the living room is a dining room that leads through to the newly renovated kitchen with brand new modern white cabinetry, granite countertops, and high end stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher and over-the-range built-in microwave). Updated LVP flooring spans the entirety of the first floor and a fresh coat of paint has been added throughout (both interior and exterior) to make the home truly move-in-ready. Upstairs are three well-scaled bedrooms, all of which have brand new carpeting. Two of the bedrooms have bay windows, and the third includes a walk-out 2nd floor balcony in the rear of the home. A nicely updated bathroom rounds out the second floor. There is also a large storage basement which includes the laundry hook ups. Vinyl replacement windows / updated 100AMP breaker panel / natural gas hot water heater / natural gas boiler -- so much for a buyer to NOT have to do! Put this home on your tour today.
