199 Wabash Avenue

This is where charm, comfort, and “thank goodness the expensive stuff is already done” all live happily under one roof. This home comes loaded with the kind of updates buyers love but don’t always want to pay for after closing — including a newer furnace, hot water tank, 200 amp electrical service, and more. Translation: fewer scary basement surprises and more money left over for furniture, snacks, or convincing yourself you’re finally going to use that home gym equipment. Inside, you’ll find beautiful hardwood floors that bring classic Kenmore character, plus a cozy fireplace with a gas-lit log set — perfect for pretending you chopped wood all day while actually pushing a button like royalty. The front enclosed porch is ideal for morning coffee, evening relaxing, package surveillance, or judging joggers with kindness. Out back, the semi-private backyard gives you just enough separation to enjoy yourself without feeling like you’re starring in a neighborhood reality show. And the 2.5 car detached garage? That’s not just a garage — It has its' own sub panel and built in gas heater. And the grill is hooked up to natural gas too and stays with the house. This garage is a car haven, tool kingdom, storage palace, hobby bunker, or the future headquarters for all the things you swear you’re going to organize someday. Located in the heart of Kenmore, this home has the charm buyers chase, the updates buyers need, and the kind of garage space that makes people say, “Okay, now we’re talking.” Come see it for yourself at the Open House Saturday, 6/27 from 1–3 PM. But be warned: homes with this much character, garage space, and big-ticket updates don’t usually sit around waiting for people who “just want to sleep on it.” Around here, sleeping on it may mean sleeping somewhere else.
