Classic Highland Park charm meets thoughtful modern updates in this spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story home on an oversize lot just half a block from Mississippi River Boulevard. With its handsome 1940s architecture, original hardwood floors, generous room sizes, and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, this home has great updates to make it easy to live in and enjoy. The main level offers multiple spaces for living and entertaining, including a gracious living room with fireplace that is currently used for formal dining but could easily be converted back. The updated cook’s kitchen opens to the sun-drenched family room, informal dining, and sitting room, while a large main-level laundry with abundant storage adds a level of convenience you rarely find in a home of this era. A charming half bath completes the main floor. Upstairs offers four bedrooms on one level, including a spacious primary bedroom with its own sitting area for a unique retreat. Original hardwood floors, a Juliet balcony, and an updated full bath with walk-in shower add to the home's timeless appeal. The improvements are substantial: enjoy new furnace and central air, updated plumbing, additional electrical panel, new sewer main line, lawn irrigation system, updated kitchen and main bath, and a rebuilt limestone retaining wall at the front of the property. One of the two fireplaces has been converted to gas, ready to enjoy with the flip of a switch. And there’s still opportunity to make the home your own. The unfinished portion of the basement offers excellent storage and is already roughed in for a third bath. Outside, the beautifully landscaped property offers spaces to gather, relax and entertain, with the Mississippi River corridor practically at your doorstep. Bike and walk along the nearby river trails, then enjoy the shops and restaurants in Highland Village just minutes away. Truly ready to move in and enjoy! Ask about seller paid closing costs!
