Welcome to 1406 W. 52nd Street, a beautifully updated one-level bungalow in the heart of historic St. Elmo! With 1,422 square feet, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms, this home is full of charm, character, and modern upgrades while staying true to its historic roots. Step inside and you'll be greeted by gorgeous solid wood floors, some original oak and heart pine, all refinished with a sleek matte finish. The original windows have been mindfully preserved—yes, they still open and close, and they even have screens! Two freshly tuck pointed brick chimneys add to the home's classic appeal, and the living room fireplace is ready for a vented gas insert, making it extra cozy. The kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring a waterfall-edge quartzite countertop and backsplash that will take your breath away. The ZLINE gas range is high-end and fully vented, while stainless steel appliances, a deep 36-inch sink, garbage disposal, and custom soft-close cabinetry complete this well-thought-out space. Plus, two big, bright windows flood the kitchen with natural light, making it a dream to cook and gather in. The primary suite includes built-in storage and a brand-new en suite bathroom that is simply stunning—think a huge 4' x 4' walk-in tiled shower, a sleek vanity, a new commode, and a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling that adds a warm, sophisticated touch. The third bedroom also has an exposed brick accent wall, its own en suite bath with another fully tiled walk-in shower. At the back door, you'll find a tiled mudroom with a modern stackable washer and dryer (included!). Step outside onto the large rear deck overlooking a fully fenced, level backyard, perfect for pets, gardening, or just relaxing. There's even off-street parking leading up to a welcoming front porch, where you can sit back and enjoy the quiet St. Elmo surroundings.
