    What's special

    Open-concept kitchenGas-burning stoveExpansive backyard oasisNew fasciaNew shuttersStylishly renovated bathroomsNew mailbox
    542 Oak Ave: a completely renovated 2-story dream home in the heart of Linwood. Boasting 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and high-end upgrades throughout, this 120 year old property blends classic charm with modern luxury - inside and out. Step up onto the wrap-around covered front porch, now upgraded with brand-new Trex decking. The exterior also features new shutters, new fascia, a new bricked chimney and the new mailbox that adds the perfect finishing touch to this picture perfect façade. Inside, the spacious family room welcomes you with new flooring throughout and a gorgeous corner gas fireplace-ideal for cozy nights. The open-concept kitchen is a true showstopper: featuring soft-close cabinetry, gleaming quartz countertops, a gas-burning stove, pot filler, farmhouse sink, center island, pantry, and breakfast bar-all seamlessly opening to a large dining area. Sliding glass doors lead to the expansive backyard oasis, which includes a new back deck with stair solar lighting, built-in gas line for a fire pit, a new outdoor shower, and an enormous fully fenced yard-perfect for entertaining or relaxing in total privacy (the swing set will stay!) At the rear of the property, you'll find a large detached bonus building with endless potential. The 1st level of this Auxiliary Dwelling Unit or “ADU" for short, has been fully renovated into a gym and "man cave" with crown molding, new heat, a window unit (included), new vinyl flooring, and new windows. Upstairs, accessible by exterior steps, is a spacious area currently being used for storage. However this flex space can be used in unlimited ways including ideal work from home options or an easy conversion into additional living space with a bathroom (seller has an estimate for under $15,000). Upstairs in the main home, you'll find three generous bedrooms with updated flooring, and two stylishly renovated bathrooms that deliver comfort and sophistication. The master ensuite has ample closets, far more than expected! There is a full home water filtration system and the HVAC system and condenser with Nest thermostat are also newer. The rare turn-key condition, the sheer size of the property, the versatile ADU and the abundance of modern, luxurious features and thoughtful touches throughout make this Linwood homestead an obvious choice for the fortunate buyer! Oh, and walking distance to both Jessie's and Baristas!
