Renovated to the studs in 2015, 151 Congress Street has features that are some of the hardest to come by in Charleston's popular Upper Peninsula: Four large bedrooms, a spacious open floor plan, a huge backyard, easy off-street parking for two cars, and updated systems less then five years old. Situated in the North Central neighborhood, this home is just blocks away from Hampton Park, schools, and several of the Upper Peninsula's hottest new restaurants. The restored double front porch harkens back to the original home, built in 1935, but nearly everything else in this home is new as of 2015 including windows, cement plank siding, roof, tankless water heater, HVAC, kitchen, baths, and floors. Inside, you are greeted by a floor plan made for contemporary living with a large open-concept living and dining space which leads to a large kitchen with center island. The kitchen features stainless appliances, including a refrigerator with in-door ice maker, gas range, hood, and built-in wine cooler. To-the-ceiling cabinets with soft-close drawers offer ample storage, and the over-sink window provides natural light. Rounding out the main floor is the large master suite which includes a huge bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom with shower, bath, and double vanity. Up the wide staircase to the second story, you'll find three more bedrooms all with spacious closets, a large shared hall bath, a large laundry room with sink, and access to the second story porch. The home features hardwood floors throughout, with the exception of the three upstairs bedrooms which have well-maintained, neutral carpeting. Outdoors, you will find space as generous as the indoor floor plan. From the kitchen, step through the back door onto a huge side deck and down to a huge, fully fenced backyard with patio, landscaping, irrigation, storage shed, and swing set. Between the spacious floor plan, the huge yard, and off-street parking for two cars, this home lives large and is perfect for anyone who wants the charm and convenience of the Upper Peninsula's historic neighborhoods but who does not want to sacrifice on indoor and outdoor living space that can be hard to come by in 29403.
