This Merriam Park charmer is nestled mere blocks from it all! Two spacious upper level bedrooms, complete with sizable closets and additional hallway storage. Your main level offers an updated kitchen with all stainless appliances, modern finishes throughout, and soaring 9-ft ceilings that are complemented by the abundant natural light. The existing 3-season porch and mudroom are just off the kitchen, ready for your vision! Unfinished lower level is currently purposed as a gym, in addition to laundry and storage. The poured concrete drive offers plenty of parking, and the foundation for a future garage has been poured, complete with rebar & utilities. Potential for an ADU on top of the garage to expand your space further, or with rentals in mind.
