1406 W Empire Street Some homes blend into the neighborhood. This one raises the bar! From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the difference. Rich Brazilian koa wood floors flow throughout the main level and continue upstairs into the bedrooms. This flexible floor plan includes a main-floor bedroom and full bathroom, plus two spacious bedrooms upstairs featuring walk-in closets. One bedroom even connects to a bonus office, reading nook, or hangout space. A second full bathroom upstairs adds convenience for family and guests. Even the basement stands out. The walls have been waterproofed, floor epoxied, eliminating the typical old-house basement concerns and creating clean, usable space. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated. Outside, you'll find a private patio tucked behind a fenced yard where neighboring homes disappear from view, creating your own backyard retreat. This corner lot provides extra privacy, while the new storage shed offers room for all your tools and toys. And then there's the garage - a true standout. Heated, insulated, and finished with durable polyaspartic flooring, it's the kind of garage most homeowners dream about. Located just four blocks from White Oak Park, this is a home that delivers unexpected quality, thoughtful updates, and features you simply don't find every day.
