Can we truly call it a "park-like setting?" Perhaps that's too simple. 1620 Broad Street is a mid-century modern home featuring 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, now available for sale right next to Merrill Park. This residence boasts several appealing updates, including new windows, fresh exterior doors and hardware, along with a newly installed roof and gutters. An updated 200-amp electrical panel and a radon mitigation system have also been added. The bedroom carpets were replaced in 2022. The kitchen is generously sized and showcases updated countertops and a new sink and faucet. Conveniently, there is a 1/2 bath located just off the kitchen. The home also includes a formal dining room and a spacious living room with windows that overlook the park. The full bathroom on the main floor is ready for renovation by the new owner. The primary bedroom features a large full bathroom, providing ample space to relocate the laundry currently situated in the kitchen. Off the living room, you'll find a charming 3-season room that faces the park. Additionally, there is an east-facing wood deck accessible from the kitchen. The basement offers plenty of storage space, and the attached one-car garage enhances convenience. At the back of the property, a detached 2-car garage is also available.
