Welcome to 1609 W 53rd St. - A St. Elmo Gem!
Located in the heart of the historic district, this charming bungalow has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated by its current owners. With a roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and windows all less than 3 years old, plus a new fully encapsulated crawlspace and updated stairs, the heavy lifting has already been done!
The main level features 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a spacious living and dining area, a full kitchen, and a flex room perfect for an office, guest space, or creative studio. You'll fall in love with the natural flow of the home, its generously sized rooms, and the gorgeous original woodwork throughout.
The fully finished basement in-law or master suite comes with its own private exterior entrance and can be completely shut off from the main level—making it ideal as an income-producing apartment, short-term rental, or a private retreat for guests or multigenerational living.
This is one you do not want to miss. St. Elmo charm, major updates, flexible living space, and income potential—what more could you ask for?
