This spacious garage is ready to be transformed into your personal retreat—whether it’s a studio, workshop, or ultimate relaxation space. Perfectly situated near 22nd Street, 8th Street, Valley Junction, and Grand Avenue, you're only minutes from Jordan Creek or downtown.

You’ll adore the custom tile work in the kitchen and bathrooms, new modern bathroom fixtures, and sleek trim that flows throughout the home. The **landscaping** has been newly redone, complete with fresh plants, new gutters on both the house and garage, and a touch of elegance that complements the overall charm. Stepping into the kitchen, the all-new **stainless steel Whirlpool appliances** sparkle, while the **new tile flooring** ties together the dining area, kitchen, and bathrooms. The basement features LVP flooring, while original hardwoods upstairs preserve the character.
