A strong sense of community, convenient access to both Springfield Ave and downtown Maplewood, and being home of the Porchfest music festival are hallmarks of this special neighborhood. With a roof that's only two years old, 5 year furnace, newer windows, freshly painted interior and refinished wood floors - this home is ready for its next, happy chapter. The large picture window in the front of the house brings loads of natural light into the living room. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bath with double vanity make first floor living easy. The recently renovated eat-in kitchen flows seamlessly to the backyard with two car garage. Upstairs you'll find a spacious bedroom with custom built-in bunks and brand-new carpet. Adding to the living space in this home is the incredible finished basement with newer full bath featuring modern finishes. The fun surprise moment is the retro-chic bar room just begging to be transformed into your very own speakeasy.
