About this home

Welcome to the West-End. This character-rich home sits on a 1/4+ acre in the heart of the West End, a neighborhood celebrated for exactly the kind of craftsmanship this property delivers. Soaring ceilings, newer floors and two wood-burning fireplaces speak to a century of quality construction, while a fully fenced backyard with a deck, above-ground pool, and storage shed offers the kind of outdoor living space that makes this home truly stand out. The main level flows from a generous living room through to a formal dining room, anchored by original fireplaces. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms and an updated full bath provide flexibility for any lifestyle. A full walk-out basement and a sprawling third-floor attic open up endless possibilities; home studio, gym, workshop, or additional storage. Ample off-street parking completes the picture. Just minutes to shopping, dining, and local transit, this location is perfect for anyone and offers many amenities to suit any lifestyle.
