Property details
About 1708 E 40th St
As you sit on the front porch of 1708 E. 40th beneath the canopy of mature trees, you’ll enjoy the peaceful view of the greenbelt and creek just across the street. Just blocks from Patterson Park and a short walk to Mueller, the location strikes the perfect balance of city access with natural beauty. The home was thoughtfully expanded by local architecture firm Jobe Corral in 2020 and now perfectly blends the charm of the original structure with a light-filled modern addition. The remodel includes a spacious dining room, office, upstairs loft, and dreamy primary suite that feels like a treehouse. The sleek kitchen features slate floors, clé tile, updated cabinets, high-end appliances, and steel finishes. Every inch has been lovingly maintained and is the perfect choice if you love character and function, ideal for modern living. Hardwood floors, handpicked tile, standing seam metal roof, a stunning steel staircase, and other custom details throughout make this home a standout. Linger on the front porch at sunset or relax out back under the shady trees and enjoy the sounds of nature in the place where architecture, nature, and community come together.
