This beautifully renovated 1920s two-story blends vintage charm with modern updates. Nearly everything is new: hardwood flooring on the main level, carpet upstairs, fresh paint, and every light fixture replaced (except basement/garage). Bathrooms shine with new tile, vanities, faucets, and toilets - including a primary ensuite. The kitchen is fully new with KitchenAid appliances, quartz counters, and custom cabinetry, plus a drop zone with bench. A new fireplace adds character, while new interior doors, hardware, and added landscaping complete the refresh. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a main-floor half bath, with laundry on the second floor or in the basement. A new air conditioner and new roof provide peace of mind, while the oversized 2-car garage with 10x20 bonus space offers storage or workshop potential. Walkability to Uptown Shopping Center/Shops at Roosevelt; easy access to I-235. This move-in-ready gem perfectly pairs historic charm with modern ease.
