Property Description
This beautifully maintained 2-story row home with a finished basement is perched on a prime corner lot and offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and style. Step into an inviting main level with gleaming hardwood floors throughout the living and dining rooms, staircase, and hallway. The kitchen is a dream, boasting tons of cabinet space, expansive countertops, a bright breakfast nook, and natural light galore. Upstairs, you'll find two generously-sized bedrooms lined with windows and a well-appointed full bath with its own window for extra light and fresh air. The finished basement adds a full second living space with a cozy family room, a massive laundry/utility area, and ample storage with direct access to the backyard. Step outside to enjoy effortless indoor-outdoor flow: a large deck right off the kitchen leads to a fully fenced, extra-deep backyard-ideal for entertaining, gardening, or just relaxing under the sky. The two-car garage even includes a storage addition. All of this is located just moments from transportation, with easy access to downtown, expressways, and all that Jefferson Park has to offer.
