The home, located at 1874 79th Avenue, is mid-century architectonically designed by Henry “Dickie” Thurman and Ira Graham, who were Deans with the Colleges of Architecture and Engineering at Southern University. The home was completed in 1962 and has been in the family of the original owner. An extensive renovation was completed in 2021, that includes an entirely new kitchen that allows for open concept living. A 4-piece Samsung stainless steel appliance package is included featuring a Wi-Fi enabled convection range. New custom cabinets throughout with beautiful granite countertops. You will love the classic subway tile backsplash. The bathrooms were totally redone including dual vanities, plumbing upgrade, ceramic tiled shower, new fixtures and lighting. The interior is professionally painted in neutral colors. Waterproof flooring will ensure worry-free beauty for years to come and high traffic carpet accents the bedrooms. All new light fixtures and ceiling fans are included. New interior doors add to the beauty and security of your new home, not to mention the state of the art security system including flood alert, motion detector, glass breakage, exterior motion detectors, and camera doorbell. The HVAC system was replaced in 2014. The landscaping has been updated with a new 4-foot privacy fence across the front that allows for enjoyment of patio space. The home features a large back yard, perfect for that family gathering and includes a huge oak, just perfect for a swing. A new two sided rear fence completes the back yard. The roof was completely inspected and repaired. The family completed this interior renovation with functional features in mind while keeping the original charm!
