Description

Updated & Move-In Ready in the Heart of Waldo!
This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in the desirable Waldo neighborhood has been beautifully updated and meticulously maintained — offering peace of mind and modern comfort in a classic setting. You’ll love the spacious layout, featuring a dramatic Great Room addition with two-story vaulted ceilings (approx. 27' x 24') — perfect for entertaining or relaxing. While most of the home boasts original hardwood floors, the Great Room adds a striking architectural touch and extra living space. The kitchen is a standout, with generous counter space, excellent storage, and easy flow to the outdoor deck through elegant French doors — making indoor/outdoor entertaining a breeze. The deck has been freshly painted and overlooks a private backyard retreat. Car enthusiasts or those needing extra storage will appreciate the rare 3-car garage setup with two private driveways: a 1-car attached garage (original to the home) and a newer oversized 2-car detached garage in the back.

Major Updates Include:
2021: New roof, gutter guards, James Hardie siding (home + front of detached garage), HVAC system, refrigerator, and 3 brand-new garage doors
2023: New water heater and a front storm door with a built-in roll-down screen
2025: New dishwasher and entire interior professionally repainted

All the major systems have been taken care of — just move in and enjoy! Located just minutes from Tower Park, public transit, the library, schools, shopping, restaurants, and more — this home offers both modern convenience and timeless charm.
