801 W MONROE Street Some houses have personality. This one has a whole sketchbook. Built in 1935, this 1.5 story is full of original character, unexpected spaces & the kind of quirks that make an older house feel like YOUR house. Enter from the back porch inside the fenced yard & step into the mudroom/pantry, complete with new window & flooring, & cabinet storage. From there, the 2026 renovated kitchen was taken down to the studs, with updated plumbing/electrical, added outlets, new flooring, & appliances. The formal DR features a built-in corner cabinet & opens to the family room, both with HW floors. Main floor also has 2 BR's & full bath (updated in 2021). Upstairs, a vaulted ceiling, exposed brick, built-in bookshelves & a little landing zone create a natural spot for a reading chair & tiny library. Step outside to the upper-level balcony overlooking the back porch & yard (railing/flooring rebuilt & waterproofed 2020). The spacious upper-level bedroom has walk-in closet, full bath featuring updates & a distinctive metal ceiling. Another flexible room offers possibilities as a nursery, studio, office, or dressing room. A front porch with windows on three sides adds even more character. 13 windows replaced in the past 10 mos. Close to downtown & not far from WA Park, this is a home for someone who appreciates old-house charm, doesn't need everything to match & can already picture the art, books, rugs & personality that will make it their own.
