1513 Beal Street

Now this is HOME -- your sanctuary, the place you spend time with family and friends making memories, and the place you greet each day with happiness! This 1568 sq ft Beal Street cottage/bungalow has everything you could want -- an older home with modern updates that make it very comfortable while retaining its character and giving a nod to its history and architecture. It has a fabulous location that is convenient to downtown, the Mill, and all other shopping. It is 1 block from charming City Lake, 2 blocks from Sunset Park and the river walk, and 3 blocks from Pet's Best Friend Dog Park. But it's not just where the home is but what it is. It features an attached carport, a spacious front porch with a swing, a large fenced back yard, a storage shed and a brick patio perfect for entertaining. Inside you will find 9-foot ceilings, large rooms, hardwood floors, French doors with original glass doorknobs, fresh paint, new light fixtures, an updated kitchen with stainless appliances, premium flooring and butcher block countertops. The floorplan keeps the 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths separate from the living room, dining room, and kitchen with a long central hallway. At the end of the hall near the back door is an enclosed heated and cooled porch that is currently used as a drop zone, a workspace, and storage. You will also find a laundry room next to it. Updates include a 3-year-old roof, new energy efficient windows, a new electrical system, a moisture barrier beneath the home, improved insulation, a Nest thermostat, an organized and safe attic storage space, new exterior paint... We can talk endlessly about the features and updates and the meticulous care with which this home has been maintained. However, it is that warm, inviting, comfortable feeling you get when you walk in -- the one that captures your heart and whispers, ''This is HOME.''
