About 1915 51st St

Step into this charming home and be greeted by original hardwood floors and a flood of natural light spanning the living room. The recently upgraded kitchen, with its fresh paint, new flooring, stylish butcher block countertops, and modern backsplash, is a perfect place to whip up those new TikTok recipes. Or, let's be real, it's perfect for takeout nights, too. Down the hall, you'll find two cozy bedrooms that offer plenty of space to spread out and a recently updated bathroom. Or head upstairs to the oversized bedroom as a private retreat. The basement is ready for your imagination! With a non-conforming fourth bedroom, it's ideal for guests or a home office. There's also newly finished space ready to be turned into a game room or theater, the possibilities are endless. Plus, there's a workshop area perfect for the DIY enthusiasts! The exterior is equally impressive, with a new concrete driveway with an extra parking pad, newly poured back patio, and a nearly fenced-in yard. And let's not forget the additional garage storage for all your toys. This move-in-ready home is waiting for its new owner.
