This 22 ft wide Wardman home has it all - a blend of historic charm and updated features for modern living, size across 4 levels, multiple outdoor zones, and 2 off street parking spaces. The 1500 block of Varnum is where you want to be in 16th Street Heights - at the heart of the community, these residents throw regular block parties, have Halloween spirit, and know each other - it's a hard thing to find in the city and one that will add to your experience. The homes on this block sit up off the street so you have that bonus of added privacy. Walk past the historic granite retaining walls and up the flagstone stairs to the flat green grass yard that is trimmed with landscaped flower beds. Next you have an expansive covered front porch, a feature and space that makes the exterior particularly enjoyable. This home has hardwood floors throughout, all updated bathrooms, an updated kitchen, a finished lower level that has its own separate entrance, and many thoughtful upgrades that this homeowner put in that you simply do not see often for example: 3 skylights on the top floor (one originally located but updated and 2 put in to maximize natural light, a central vacuum cleaner, all original radiators were removed from the property and sent off site to have all of the decades of paint stripped off so they look and function pristinely, all old cast iron piping to the radiators were removed and replaced to enhance ceiling height in the lower level. The ideal footprint with 3 bedrooms (plus a den)/2 bathrooms on the top floor. On the main level, there is a half bathroom along with a large living room, dining room, kitchen with a full sized pantry, and a bonus room that could be an office/kids playroom/a second seating space. The lower level has a bedroom, full bathroom, 3 closets, a wet bar area (that can be expanded to a kitchenette), a large laundry room/storage area, and a separate entrance. This lower level can be another level of living for you, guests, or it can generate income. The top floor attic is a great bonus for storage or could be outfitted as another office, playroom, or could have dormers put in to make it another usable level with bedrooms, offices, etc. Walk out to the backyard through the covered porch onto a massive wood patio that has 300 sq ft of space for dining and lounging. You are surrounded with a built-in raised brick flower bed surrounding the patio full of colorful and seasonal blooming flowers. There is fresh sod in the backyard that offers plenty of additional green space. In the rear of the yard there are 2 secured off street parking spaces, 1 covered and the other an open parking pad space. This parking area has so much flexibility - it can stay as is, half of the space can be converted into a gym, office, art studio, workshop or more with minimal effort as there is power and the structure in place. There will not be another home with this balance of location, charm, features, function in the neighborhood again soon. Come see it for yourself - open on Friday from 5-7pm and Sunday from 1-3pm.
