What could you do with 2000 bonus square feet in an already perfect home? Rental income to defray the cost of a mortgage, extended family to come and visit, or a work-from-home studio/office for you?
Perched on a beautiful corner lot along an oak-lined street in the walkable, family-friendly neighborhood of University/Uptown, this raised home blends historic charm with modern updates. Rewired and refreshed in 2020, it offers a flexible floor plan filled with natural light from abundant windows on all sides. Just a short walk to Oak Street's vibrant restaurants, coffee shops, and local boutiques, this home is perfectly situated for enjoying all that Uptown has to offer. Enjoy morning coffee in the enclosed sun porch and unwind in the fenced backyard with views of majestic oaks.
The renovated kitchen and breakfast room (updated in 2016) feature sleek stainless-steel appliances, double ovens, and a chic vent hood, perfect for home chefs and gatherings alike. Gleaming hardwood floors throughout the main living areas add warmth and character. Ideal for modern living, the home offers both formal and casual spaces, independent bedrooms, ample storage, and work-from-home options.
The first floor includes multiple bonus areas: a beautifully updated office or studio with a bathroom, plus a spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit complete with a full kitchen, modern appliances, a large laundry room, and flexible living space. With a separate entrance at 7900 Willow Street, the 2000 square foot, lower-level unit is perfect for guests, extended family, or as an income-producing rental.
