Property Description

Saturday Open House Cancelled; continue to show! Situated on a picturesque, pin-oak tree-lined street in the highly sought-after Northhampton neighborhood, this quintessential all-brick bungalow is a city dweller’s dream. From the moment you arrive, the stunning curb appeal captivates with a welcoming covered porch, cedar columns, board-and-batten shutters, refreshed landscaping and window boxes. The original front-door paired with a hanging porch light welcomes you home. Step inside to discover a seamless blend of vintage character and modern comfort. The front living room boasts original hardwood flooring, intricate millwork, custom built-in shelving and a bank of windows complemented by two glass-block windows that flood the space with natural light. The dining room is a natural extension to the front living space where you’ll find a city-chic tin ceiling, updated lighting and double windows that create the perfect setting for gatherings. The thoughtfully updated kitchen marries historical rustic charm with contemporary updates, featuring stainless steel appliances (fridge stays!), a gas cooktop with exhaust fan, quartz countertops, a tin backsplash, recessed lighting and beadboard ceiling for a chic yet cozy vibe. Two back-lit cabinets with original stained-glass custom fronts add a unique touch, while the adjacent breakfast room offers a sunny spot to enjoy meals, entertain or admire the original stained-glass windows. And don't miss the expanded kitchen pantry; a rare South City amenity! For the ultimate convenience, the primary bedroom is located on the main floor that offers a spacious walk-in closet, double windows, ceiling fan and crown molding. The full bathroom completes the main level. As you climb the back staircase to the upper level, a skylight illuminates the way to two spacious rooms with central heating and air, designed for bedrooms, playrooms or home office space. The lower level expands the living space with a fourth bedroom (with a private entrance and walk-up access to the backyard), a full bathroom and a recreation area for lounging or play. An additional 100 square feet of storage, complete with built-in shelving, and a washer/dryer (included) round out this versatile level. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a newly stained, covered deck—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails—overlooking the fully fenced backyard. A calming custom waterfall adds a touch of tranquility, while a sunshade offers relief from western sun exposure. Parking is a breeze with an oversized 1-car garage and adjacent carport, offering two off-street spaces. With an unbeatable location (just a two-block walk to Tilles Park), this rare combination of charm, modern updates and space is a treasure waiting to be yours. Passed city occupancy inspection.
