It's rare that a home like this comes on the market in Land Park. This is one of those homes in Land Park that makes you fall in love the minute you walk in the door, which is how looking for a home to buy should be. You'll know instantly that this home is for you.
One of the deciding factors will be the WOW factor -- when the open floor plan hits you right between the eyes and makes your jaw drop. You can tell there was a lot of money spent to remodel this home. For example, the distressed plank hardwood floors throughout are absolutely beautiful.
The kitchen cabinet drawers are self-closing. The counters are slab granite. Some of the cabinets have glass doors and interior lighting plus task lighting under the cabinets. The backsplash is subway marble. There is a built-in microwave at counter height. The vent hood over the stove is whisper-quiet yet efficient.
Wait until you see the baths. Holy cow. The first bath has slate tile on the floor and walls. A roomy shower with a sparkling glass door that doesn't make a sound when you move it. A rainshower head inside. The master suite bath features a jetted tub, another rainshower, movable shower door although it appears stationary, and a jade color marble surround. The floor is travertine.
This home boasts 2 bedrooms, 2 baths plus a sunroom / laundry addition that is probably not included in the square footage. There is a dining room under a curved arch and wood ceiling, which is also open to the kitchen and living room. The home was built in 1939 and has the original fireplace, too.
For your convenience, the driveway is gated, although the gate doesn't sit exactly parallel to the street. There is also a one-car garage. Most of the electrical and plumbing throughout this home has been replaced, and there is also special drainage built into the elevation alongside the front of the garage.
This is a beautiful tree-canopied street and, as you know, location is everything in Land Park. This home is located in the Land Park Tract and is a block away from William Land Park, the way the crow flies. Otherwise, to drive or walk, it's about a block and a half.

What a great looking property, I hope you are able to get it sold quickly!
What a beautiful description Elizabeth, would love to see the Holy Cow baths!
Congratulations on this great listing! The photos are high quality and, I suspect, done by a professional. The only way to go for a quality property like this.
We'll see how the open house goes today. I know lots of agents shy away from Mother's Day, but I know who rules on Mother's Day, so I hold Open Houses that get swamped with traffic!
Thanks for the tip of the hat about the photos, John. I shot them myself.
