Welcome to the 711 Fayette Avenue, a captivating blend of early 20th-century architecture and modern convenience. Built in 1917, this stately 3-story home exudes character from the moment you arrive—with original oak woodwork, original hardwood floors, and thoughtful design throughout. Step inside to discover spacious living areas with vintage charm, leading up to a finished walk-up attic that serves as a peaceful hideaway, complete with an extra-deep walk-in closet for flexible storage or dressing space. Two of the upper-level bedrooms and the remodeled bathroom feature skylights that flood the rooms with 30% more daylight than traditional windows—bringing warmth, energy, and mood-lifting brightness throughout the day. The big-ticket updates (July 2025) are already done: a brand-new roof, chimney, and skylight flashing plus freshly painted exterior and repaired soffits ensure durability and curb appeal for years to come. Inside, the HVAC system has been well maintained, providing dependable comfort and low maintenance, and all appliances are newer within the past five years and stay for buyer convenience. Outside, enjoy a low-maintenance backyard perfect for gatherings, and a charming hosta bed in front, set to return next spring after recent exterior updates. All this is nestled in a prime location, just two blocks from Washington Park, minutes from the Capitol complex and local shopping, and within the boundaries of some of the city’s most desirable schools.
