About 1909 N Mckinley Avenue
Tucked inside the Gatewood Historic District, this home strikes that perfect balance between early 20th-century charm and the conveniences we crave today. Recently remodeled in 2022, every major update has already been taken care of—new roof, gutters, fencing, HVAC, vinyl windows, flooring, carpet in the bedrooms, fresh paint, and all new fixtures. The result is a home that feels brand new while still honoring its classic character. Step inside and you’re greeted by an open living, dining, and kitchen space where natural light bounces across fresh surfaces. The living room’s fireplace adds just the right note of coziness, and the kitchen—with its subway tile backsplash, soft-close shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a farmhouse sink), and garbage disposal—invites both everyday cooking and dinner parties. Lighting throughout has been upgraded to LED, giving the home a bright and efficient glow. The bedrooms and hallway offer clever shelving and storage, while a separate utility room with cabinets keeps life’s practical necessities neatly out of sight. Outside, the setting is just as thoughtful: a small fenced backyard shaded by a beautiful tree with synthetic turf for low-maintenance greenery, complemented by a paver stone patio. Off to the side, there’s a real grass yard—perfect for a pet who likes space to wander. The curb appeal is undeniable with its white brick exterior, cottage-style wood siding accents, covered stone-tiled porch, and double garden beds ready for seasonal color. And then there’s the location: just blocks from the Plaza District, you’ll be moments from Midtown and Downtown while still enjoying the quieter, neighborly feel of Gatewood. With a paved driveway for parking, smart use of space, and that sought-after blend of history and modern comfort, this home is as practical as it is charming.
