About 525 S 56th St

Welcome home! Many improvements have been done and waiting for you! Walk up to the home and notice a great sized covered porch. This is a great place to spend the summer nights or relaxing with your morning coffee. Enter into the home to beautiful floors and many new windows. The family room has great views to the porch and opens to the dining room. There is a powder room located on the first floor which is great for those who like to have the convenience for company. The kitchen is located in the rear of the home. It has been updated with new white cabinetry, granite, white tile subway backsplash, undermounted sink, mullion glass doors and a built-in microwave.! Lots of room for the chef in the family. There are two over-sized closets which would be great for dry pantry goods and those special dishes/appliances that are not used as often. The rear yard has an added exterior glass door to allow lots of natural sunlight to flow in when cooking! The rear outdoor space is full concrete, fenced-in and easy to clean. The space is large enough for a large table or couches. The upper level has 4 bedrooms and a fully updated bathroom. The full bathroom is new and gorgeous with a skylight allowing extra sunlight inside. The primary bedroom has ample closet space. The upper level has 12" baseboards and tastefully painted! Don't miss your opportunity to be a home owner.
