Fulton Heights · 1915
Rooms that still feel 1915.
Filled with modern updates yet still holding on to its original charm, this Fulton Heights home should not be missed. Just moments from the Fulton Street Farmers Market, shops and restaurants, parks and a dog park, a community garden, Aquinas College, and more — this location has it all.
Inside you will find original woodwork in great condition flowing throughout. Three spacious bedrooms sit upstairs with a completely renovated full bath, including a deep new soaker tub. The main floor holds a generous living room, dining room, modern kitchen, and a half bath.
The basement is partially finished for additional living space on one side, with room for plenty of storage, laundry, and mechanicals on the other. Other features include a new furnace with humidifier in 2023, a water heater from 2023, a lovely front porch, and a worry-free composite deck overlooking the backyard.
