821 W San Martin Street

Sometimes the smartest improvements are the ones you never see. Behind the fresh siding, new flooring, fresh paint and beautiful new deck is something even more important: a home that has been rebuilt from the ground up where it matters most. More than $30,000 has been invested in rebuilding and encapsulating the crawlspace, including new floor joists, rim joists, subfloor and sump pump--work completed by Smouse Brothers with an eye toward giving the next owner something every homeowner wants: confidence in what's underneath. And then there's everything you can see. This charming 1970s home has been updated to the max while keeping just enough of its original personality to make it feel like home. The kitchen features refinished solid-wood cabinets, an updated countertop and all-new appliances. The HVAC system and water heater are new, too. Two good-sized bedrooms make the floor plan comfortable and practical. The bathroom has a new vanity and toilet, while the original cast-iron tub and 1970s tile surround add a charming nod to the home's history. The large laundry room is a standout with wood-slat paneling, a laundry sink and new modern shelving. Step outside to enjoy the screened front porch, shaded front yard and a new 10x10 deck overlooking the chain-link fenced backyard. The attached one-car garage adds everyday convenience, and the .30-acre lot gives you room to enjoy the outdoors without a lot of upkeep. It's a darling house with a long list of new--and one very important improvement you'll never have to worry about seeing. Updated to the max. Solid where it counts. And ready for its next chapter.
