About 1720 2nd Ave SE

Welcome home to this charming and historic home with beautiful, modern styling! Gather on the porch for morning coffee or porch parties with friends before enjoying the nearby downtown nightlife. The kitchen was redesigned in 2019, maintaining the home’s historic period while incorporating contemporary style and functionality. The gorgeous granite counters, apron front sink, custom cabinetry, new appliances, oversized refrigerator, and 5 burner gas stove with top of the line convection oven make the kitchen a chef’s dream. After cooking, shut the original swinging kitchen door and enjoy dinner with family and friends in the spacious dining room. The bonus “Morning Staircase” leads down to the lower level from the original servant's quarters. There is plenty of space for a basement workshop and attic playroom. Lilacs and perennial gardens create a backyard sanctuary big enough for a swing set and family fun.
