Description

Classic East Wash Park Tudor on desirable Vine St, just blocks to the park! Rare double lot with plenty of room to expand the house and/or build a 2 car garage. This charming home has many original 1940's details: coved ceilings, arched entryways, built ins and an art niche as well as rare brass and glass doorknobs. Two leaded glass windows frame the front door. Wood floors enhance the main level and the gas fireplace in the living room is framed by beautiful, handmade tiles. An updated kitchen has a newer stove and convection oven. The sunny breakfast nook includes a built in hutch and wine rack. There are two bedrooms and a full, remodeled bath on the main floor. The skylight provides wonderful, natural light in the bathroom. Upgraded carpeting (2020) in the basement. A large bedroom with legal egress and remodeled 3/4 bath make excellent use of the space. The large family room is on the basement level as well as the laundry. The front porch faces west and is covered with an awning for relaxing mornings on this quiet block. Some newer windows improve heating efficiency. An evaporative cooler works well to keep the house comfortable in warmer months. Other upgrades: furnace, 2016, French Drain and sump pump, 2020 and fence in 2020. Included is a one car detached garage with automatic door opener, accessed from the alley. A large back patio is covered and extended by flagstone pavers. The terraced front yard with mature plantings is water efficient and easy to maintain. This home is close to everything the Wash Park neighborhood has to offer: Gaylord St shops and dining in the next block, easy access to public transportation, close to University and I-25. And, of course, Wash Park itself.
