1630 3rd Avenue NE Step inside and you may not want to leave. This preinspected home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates in all the right places. Hardwood floors and natural light create a welcoming feel that makes everyday living easy and gatherings even better. The 2023 kitchen is truly the heart of the home, beautifully updated and ready for everything from quiet mornings to dinner with friends. The fully fenced yard adjoins a school open play area, offering green space and privacy. A stone path leads to a backyard firepit, the perfect spot for summer evenings under the stars. The maintenance-free deck tucked behind the garage offers a private setting for relaxed outdoor dining, along with a fenced garden for those who love to grow their own. Upstairs offers a flexible space that can be multi-purposed to fit your needs, whether as a spacious primary bedroom, home office, or quiet reading retreat. The bedrooms are generously sized, an uncommon feature for a 1954 home. The finished lower level feels like a true retreat, with a warm family room wired for surround sound and centered around a stone fireplace, plus a spa-inspired bath featuring a jetted tub and walk-in tile shower. Located near Quarry Hill and Silver Lake, with easy access to walking and biking trails, restaurants, and 125 Live, this home offers both comfort and smart investment in one package.
