Property Description
Beautifully renovated and restored, Architect-Owned home has everything you've been looking for in the heart of Historical Gunderson District (built during the Second Subdivision development by S.T. Gunderson and Sons). House is in a great central location near grocers, restaurants and coffee shops. Home has a restored (2020) oversized front porch with bead-board ceiling. Kitchen was updated in 2021 with new backsplash, countertops and appliances, as well as the 1/2 bathroom with Kohler fixtures. Giant living and dining room can comfortably accommodate all your (post Covid) gatherings! 2nd floor is the definition of top of the line. From 2019-2020, owners did an addition creating a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and walk-in closets for two of the bedrooms. Jack-and-Jill bathroom has radiant heated floors, Kohler low flow fixtures, and closed-cell foam insulation. The exterior walls were rebuilt and new windows/siding were installed. Main hall bathroom was rehabbed with low-flow Kohler fixtures/accessories, custom Fireclay tile work, radiant heated floors, Schluter-Shower Waterproofing System and closed-cell foam insulation. Primary bedroom reno included addition of extra-deep California Closets. Other perks include all basement pipes replaced with copper in 2017, high-efficiency AC (sized for 3rd floor expansion) in 2018, new drywalled ceilings on 2nd floor, new roof at rear of home, and custom window shades in 2015. New electrical and upgraded water main in 2019/2020. Dry basement has 1/2 bathroom, a great workshop area, and laundry room. 3rd floor has been foam-cell insulated, just waiting on your finishing touches! Owners have professionally landscaped the yard with local drought-tolerant prairie grasses and plantings. The fence was installed in 2016 and is a combination of prefinished western cedar wood slats on cedar-clad steel posts. This means little to no maintenance! 2.5 car garage has plenty of storage, as well as a parking pad accessible via swing gates off of the alley for a 3rd car/guest parking. Owners have lovingly taken care of this home and know you'll love it as much as them.
