About 1123 Polk Blvd

Check out this adorable brick bungalow in the historic Waveland Park neighborhood. This cozy home features 3 bedrooms and one bath on the main, and an additional non-conforming bedroom with a walk-in closet and ¾ bath in the basement. The basement has so much potential for a finished family room, and lots of storage. A French drain system has been installed as well as a Radon Mitigation system. The living room features a wood burning fireplace and the dining room has the original beautiful build-ins. The kitchen has tons of counter space and SS appliances. The enclosed porch is the perfect place to relax and watch the world go by. This Polk Blvd beauty is in the perfect location, close to schools, shops, grocery stores, and even just steps away from the famous Waveland Cafe where you may encounter a Momoa sighting. The backyard has tons of space for entertaining and features a large 2-car garage. The roof and the gutters were replaced late 2022, and the HVAC, and extra-large water heater have been very well maintained. All you have to do is add your own touches and make it your own.
