Description

This well-maintained Avondale home offers the exceptional versatility you've been waiting for to hit the market. The potential is here to get creative with either utilizing the existing lower-level in-law living space (complete with separate utilities), convert into an 'oversized' single-family residence or utilize the building as-is and move right in to a truly unique opportunity. New soundproof windows along Elston ensure quiet living, while the fenced front yard enhances security and curb appeal....This well-maintained Avondale home offers the exceptional versatility you've been waiting for to hit the market. The potential is here to get creative with either utilizing the existing lower-level in-law living space (complete with separate utilities), convert into an 'oversized' single-family residence or utilize the building as-is and move right in to a truly unique opportunity. New soundproof windows along Elston ensure quiet living, while the fenced front yard enhances security and curb appeal. The first floor features 10-foot ceilings with new ceiling fans, a dining room, and two bedrooms with large closets, providing ample space. The main kitchen boasts granite countertops, 42-inch Maple cabinets, a farmhouse sink, a white Whirlpool appliance package, and an oversized walk-in pantry. Hardwood flooring flows throughout and continues up a wide staircase leading to a large sitting room, bedroom, a bathroom and a walk-in closet (that can be converted back into a fourth bedroom). Bathrooms are conveniently located on every level, and the first-floor laundry room adds convenience. The finished basement includes two additional bedrooms, a spacious open-concept living area, a full bath, and separate utilities, making it perfect for in-law living. Recent upgrades include a brand-new Furnace and AC unit for the primary two levels installed in March 2024; an investment that now provides central air! Highlights of this home include two furnaces, two water heaters, and a rare three-car parking pad, making this property as functional as it is charming. Outdoors, enjoy a stone patio perfect for entertaining, sectional seating and your fire-pit. Home still has years left on the roof warranty which adds peace of mind. Located in a thriving neighborhood with new construction, close to shopping, and offering quick access to highways, this property is a must-see!
