Welcome to 129 2nd Avenue SE-where classic curb appeal, thoughtful updates, and lush outdoor living come together just steps from the buzzing Hosea + 2nd district. Nestled behind a charming black picket fence, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home exudes warmth from the moment you arrive, with its gabled entry, painted brick exterior, and cheerful lavender front door. Inside, the character continues with original hardwood floors, crown molding, and a sun-soaked living room anchored by a cozy tile fireplace. The dining room is a true gathering space with a fabulous modern globe chandelier and amazing natural light from an oversized window. The kitchen blends style and function with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar perfect for casual mornings or evening cocktails. Tucked away in the rear of the home, the serene primary suite is a true retreat featuring a tray ceiling and a spa-inspired bath with a frameless glass shower, soaking tub, and dual vanity. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, work-from-home, or creative space, and a second full bath adds convenience with timeless finishes.
