Property details

About 863 W 43rd St

This 1940s charmer blends vintage character with smart, modern updates. Step through the arched entry into a home filled with original details—tilework around the fireplace and in the bathroom, high ceilings, and a warm, timeless feel. The well-designed floor plan lives larger than its 1,500 sq ft and offers more storage options than expected. A former mudroom has been thoughtfully renovated with LVP flooring and fresh paint, now functioning as both a utility room and a versatile office or bedroom with its own door, window, and two closets. Outside, the oversized lot offers rare expansion potential—fencing was moved to the property lines to enlarge the backyard. The yards are complete with new trees for additional shade and added flower beds for curb appeal. Ceiling fans and lighting have been updated in multiple rooms to round out this well-maintained home.
