Charm abounds in this West University beauty! Taken down to the studs in an extensive 2016 renovation, and just a short walk from West U Elementary, this house has it all! The renovation included upstairs addition, new roof, new hardwood floors throughout, replacement of windows, and updated electrical and plumbing. The house also boasts a gorgeous updated kitchen with ample cabinet space, quartz countertops, SS appliances, and striking hand-painted tile backsplash. The Primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and bathroom with separate bath and shower, double sinks and marble countertops. The house also has four good-sized secondary bedrooms, with one bedroom currently used as a downstairs game room, and three additional full bathrooms. Several work-from-home options as well, including a built-in desk in the front study and homework/craft nook upstairs. Great backyard with a patio (and room for a pool), perfect for entertaining! Don’t miss out on this fabulous West U home!
