Welcome to this beautifully maintained home on a quiet street in the heart of South Como! Step into a
bright, spacious kitchen, recently updated with quartz countertops, modern appliances, fresh flooring, and a charming bump-out garden window that floods the space with natural light. Gather for meals in one of the neighborhood's few formal dining rooms, featuring a stunning built-in and elegant new lighting. The main floor offers flexible living with a comfortable living room, a bedroom and a refreshed full bathroom with new flooring, tub, shower, sink, and toilet. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are filled with sunlight from skylights and offer generous closet space. Downstairs, a partially finished cozy area is perfect for a TV room, gaming space, or family hangout, with plenty of unfinished space left for storage, projects, and your hobbies. Timeless hardwood floors flow throughout the home. Major updates include a newer roof (2022), freshly painted exterior (2020), and several new windows. Relax outside on a spacious deck off the kitchen which is ideal for entertaining, and overlooks a fully fenced backyard with garden beds- the perfect space for pets and play! The yard offers a thoughtful mix of perennial blooms, fruit trees, and mature hops, anchored by a red maple that fills the living room with golden light each autumn. All of this is set in a highly walkable neighborhood, just minutes from shops, coffee spots, and Lake Como. This South Como gem is ready to welcome you home!
