Welcome to this totally charming and all brick cottage in Montclare! Enter thru the foyer into the large living room with a giant picture window overlooking the street. The kitchen is updated with granite counters, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, an island with seating and a door to the covered back deck that overlooks the private fenced-in yard! The main level has 2 bedrooms, the primary bedroom easily fits a king or a queen bed and the 2nd bedroom is also generously sized and currently has a queen bed and a desk! The original 50's pink and black bathroom is in terriffic condition (#savethepinkbathrooms)! The home has an enclosed side staircase that leads to the attic, a side exit, and the basement. Start pondering how you will use the huge unfinished attic with 7'7"-10'2" ceiling height and roughed-in plumbing for a bathroom, and the unfinished basement with a large laundry area and plenty of room for making more living space! The backyard is a dog lovers dream with professionally installed artificial turf, privacy fence and thoughtfully placed gates and rock areas. Sip your lemonade on the covered deck while taking in the view of the back yard! 1 car garage and a 1 car parking pad that is gated from the alley. This home is very well maintained and had new windows ~2016 and has updated copper plumbing. Many recent updates including: interior painted, refinished bathtub, professional duct cleaning (2023); new furnace, humidifier, air conditioner (2022); artificial turf and foundation sealing (2021); new washer dryer and added a utility sink, installed 8' privacy wood fence.
