Listing alert: Seller to provide $20,000 credit at closing to apply to Buyer's loan costs or purchase price reduction! As 5280 Magazine says, there is a lot to love about Platt Park. We are thrilled to introduce this 1892 Victorian gem adjacent to the Park for a fresh new price. This historic grand dame sits on a 12,500 square foot corner lot and comes complete with a detached 2 bedroom carriage house and detached 2 car garage. It is unlike any other home available in this adorable neighborhood that residents treasure for the park itself and a charming stretch of S. Pearl Street with shops, ice cream, Sushi Den and the extraordinary farmer’s market. The home has been beautifully updated over the last 5 years so the new owner won’t have to worry about essentials like: new air conditioning, new furnace, primary bath, closets systems installed in all closets, all lighting fixtures updated, new roof on all three structures, hardwood floors refinished, new carpeting, repainting of main house and carriage house interiors, recent sewer line repairs and replacement of all west facing windows. The pretty eat-in kitchen with soapstone counters, bead board ceiling and stainless appliances tastefully fits with the character of the house. Historic elements abound with quarter-sawn oak throughout, original pocket doors and millwork. The unfinished attic space in main house has high ceilings and holds tons of potential should the new owner choose to finish this space (architectural plans included). The basement is small but mighty and provides great utility space for laundry, pantry items, extra refrigerator and storage. And last but certainly not least, the carriage house is an income generator and currently rents for $2150 monthly. (Note: carriage house measures 943 SF which is not included in property square footage totals) It is perfect for extra income or could accommodate a live-in nanny or caregiver. Please call listing brokers Trish or Maggie to schedule a showing.
