1316 S Pearl Street

This well-maintained Craftsman bungalow with great outdoor spaces and thoughtful updates inside is move-in ready, and the location is amazing--light rail and I-25 access ramp are right there, and it's only a few blocks to Platt Park, Wash Park, or Whole Foods. Historic Old South Pearl Street's great restaurants and shops are right down the road, with Final Friday Art Walks and Sunday Farmer's Markets only steps away. The home itself has beautiful professional landscaping by City Floral that will soothe your soul--you will love all the space for outdoor living--gaze at lovely flowers and plants from the breezy shade of your deep, traditional covered front porch, and in the backyard enjoy the large covered back patio (great for entertaining), a feng-shui-approved gurgling fountain, and your own tree house (especially fun for humans under 41/2 feet tall). Inside, the home is full of natural light, and the sunny kitchen has a farmhouse sink and a custom-made built-in banquette for in-kitchen eating space. The house's second floor is currently a great apartment with its own kitchen and a large rooftop deck that looks out over the neighborhood. Buyers can keep it as an apartment to produce income, utilize the space as a mother-in-law suite, or use it as a guest quarter (it has a lockable entry door just inside the house's front door). Or, the second-floor space can be easily recaptured as additional living space for the main home. There is off-street parking in the detached one-car garage that also features a workshop/studio with ample lighting from windows and "light tubes," as well as room AC. Additional off-street parking is behind and to the side of the garage, and there is unlimited permitted street parking for residents. The house has no HOA, but the Platt Park Neighborhood Association organizes fun events. New gutters (2024), newer water heater (2022), roof (2020), and furnace (2018). 24-HOUR NOTICE REQUIRED FOR SHOWINGS. Public Open House Saturday, 7/12 1-3 PM.
