Property details

About 872 S Park Ave

This is absolutely turnkey. You will reap all the benefits these sellers have invested in love and quality updates of "this old house". The character of the home was restored with design as the top priority. When Brookens replaced the wood floors, new 10'' baseboards added. They did not stop here! They rebuilt the entire staircase. The beautiful restored pocket doors lead to the living room with a custom wood mantle w/bookcase. Remodeled kitchen (2017) is very functional for the person that loves to cook. The 2nd floor laundry room is nothing to skip. It offers lots of space to iron, fold and hang and is only steps away from the bedrooms for easy organization. The unfinished third floor attic space was a favorite for this family and their children. Over the years of growing from toddler to adolescents this space was a playroom, music area and a basketball court. The opportunities are endless for this space. The basement offers clean storage and an office with granite counter and file cabinets that will stay as well as the soft seating. Now that Spring is in the air you will start to see the fruit of their labor from the professional landscaping all around this property, featuring flagstone walkway, mature plants, trees that blossom. All surrounded with an ornamental iron fence. The sellers replaced the garage floor, driveway and gutters that include gutter guards. Offers will be negotiated Wednesday 4/16@7pm Will not close before 6/15/25.
