Celebrate the next chapter of this charming 1927 cottage nestled in the heart of Jacksons Broadway Heights, and utilize the $5,000 credit from the Seller for an interest rate buydown or to cover closing costs! Sitting on a generous lot under mature shade trees, this adorable home greets visitors with a custom screened front porch and porch gable—the perfect spot for morning coffee and waving to neighbors. A screened catio (cat patio) on the side offers a cozy space for feline friends, easily removed by the seller if not needed. Inside, original hardwood floors anchor generously sized living and dining areas that flow naturally through the home. The well-appointed kitchen features updated cabinetry with organizing inserts, ample storage, and appliances all five years old or newer. More recent improvements include a replaced water heater, fresh shiplap and trim, and an evaporative cooler that's only 5 years old. Two comfortable bedrooms and an updated bathroom round out the main level. The sizeable basement increases the value with a non-conforming bedroom complete with door, closet, and egress window. There's also a dedicated laundry closet, water softner, and don't miss the large utility room loaded with storage space. The rarely available mudroom leads to/from the backyard, which has mature trees providing natural shade and an oversized detached two-car garage. The alley offers parking for three or more vehicles, a rare feature in this neighborhood. An in-ground sprinkler system keeps the lawn lush. The location is perfect. Close to shopping, dining, and entertainment at nearby River Point, enjoy quick access to the Englewood Rec Center and light rail, and reach Broadway's local restaurants and shops easily. Hampden Avenue, Broadway, and Santa Fe Boulevard are all within immediate reach. Quiet tree-lined street with community character and accessible modern conveniences. This one-of-a-kind home offers rare charm and undeniable potential for the next century.
