Set on an expansive city lot just blocks from Carondelet Park, this three-story farmhouse is full of character, space, and opportunity in the heart of South City. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, this home offers the blend of move-in readiness and potential to make it your own. A charming stone facade and covered front patio welcome you inside to a warm and inviting main level featuring vaulted cedar-arched ceilings, rich woodwork, a wood-burning stove, and built-ins. The dining room, complete with a tray ceiling, window bench with storage, and original trim, creates a gathering place filled with charm. The eat-in kitchen is ready for everyday living or your personal updates over time. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, a full bath with dual sinks, separate tub and shower, and a bonus room ideal for a home office, reading nook or future laundry room. The finished third floor with a NEW SPLIT UNIT installed serves as a private retreat with a large bedroom, full bath, balcony, and generous storage. It's perfect for a primary suite, guest space or rental income. Outside, the fully fenced backyard provides privacy, green space, and a freshly stained deck for relaxing or entertaining, plus off-street parking with a two-car carport with alley access. City occupancy has already been passed, and the sellers are motivated, making this a great opportunity for buyers looking to gain space, character, and value in a sought-after South City location. With its size, layout, and proximity to Carondelet Park, this home is ready for its next chapter!
