Timeless 1930's character meets modern-day comfort in this beautifully reimagined West U home. A smart floor plan places all living areas on the first floor and bedrooms upstairs. Step inside to open, light-filled public spaces where refinished hardwoods and graceful arches set the stage for your personal style. The expansive living area features a fireplace, built-ins, French doors, and high ceilings with recessed lighting. The kitchen shines with granite counters and stainless appliances, opening through to a flexible family room that makes an ideal breakfast area. Upstairs, the stunning primary suite boasts a raised ceiling, a wall of windows, and a spa-like bath with double sinks, whirlpool tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet. Three secondary bedrooms, a hall bath, and a convenient laundry area complete the second floor. All just moments from Weir Park, and everything the West U has to offer.
