About this home
Sitting on an oversized lot with fresh snow framing its clean exterior, this home blends the charm of its original era with the practical updates. Step inside to sun-filled rooms lined with new flooring mixed with beautifully preserved original hardwood, giving the home that rare blend of character and function. Fresh paint throughout brightens each space, and large windows in nearly every room create a light, airy feel no matter where you stand. The main level offers multiple living and flex spaces—ideal for a home office, playroom, or second family room. Upstairs you’ll find generously sized bedrooms with great natural light, updated carpeting, and simple finishes that make moving in easy. Both bathrooms feature modern touches, including a vessel sink and updated tile flooring. The kitchen offers plenty of opportunity—functional as-is, but with enough square footage for a future redesign if an investor or homeowner wants to elevate it. A back entry/mudroom space adds convenience and everyday practicality. Outside, the large yard provides endless possibilities for gardening, entertaining, pets, or future expansion. A detached 2-car garage adds value. Whether you're looking for a move-in ready home at an affordable price point or a solid investment with sweat-equity upside, 1440 21st St offers both. Plenty of updates already complete, and plenty of opportunity still ahead.
