Coming Soon - Showings start 4/4/25. Welcome to the historic charm of this four-square home just steps from Washington Park. This gem boasts of beautiful woodwork, hardwood floors and so much space. The first floor is an entertainer's dream with two living areas and a formal dining room. The butler's pantry extends the kitchen area for food prep and storage but could also provide space for a main level bathroom. The second floor offers four bedrooms and a newly remodeled bathroom. Top this off by a 3rd level that has been finished for additional living space. Instead of living space, the third level has potential to be converted to an amazing primary bedroom ensuite. Lots of updates - all new replacement windows, updated electric in the home, a brand new electric box in the garage and a 700 sq ft concrete patio out back. The roof is approximately 17 years old with a 50 year warranty and driveway was refinished 10 years ago. The kitchen was remodeled in 2018/19. Don't miss your chance to own this classic Washington Park home.
