About This Home

Welcome to 505 McCabe Avenue! Located in the heart of Bayard Village, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath semi-detached townhouse combines historic industrial charm with modern elegance and offers plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and entertain. Upon arrival, you and your guests will be welcomed into a bright and spacious enclosed porch that is flooded with natural light, providing the perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee or tea and privately enjoy the neighborhood. Step inside the main level where you will be greeted by new luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows throughout and beautiful brick accent walls that give this space a “wow-factor”. The open concept living room and dining room features charming built-in shelves, recessed lights, and a contemporary glass and chrome chandelier. The updated kitchen boasts beautiful granite counters with a tile and glass backsplash, tons of cabinet space, recessed lights and new stainless steel appliances with a 5-burner gas range, French-door refrigerator and dishwasher. There is a cozy flex space just off the kitchen with pass through windows, which would make a great office space or extra dining area. French doors lead to the thoughtfully landscaped backyard with 2 covered decks, a paver walkway and spaces for flower beds or a vegetable garden. A convenient half bath completes the main level. The upper level is just as impressive as the main level. The loft-style primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with skylight, a sunlit three-window alcove and another prominent exposed brick accent. The spacious 2nd bedroom features a ton of natural light from the French doors leading to a 3rd private deck to relax, read a book or doze off for an afternoon nap. The 3rd bedroom and a beautifully renovated full bathroom with tile flooring, tile and glass tub surround and modern fixtures complete this level. The full basement provides plenty of additional storage space and a laundry area that includes a newer washer and dryer. Other notable features include a new roof w/warranty, newer HVAC system with central air, fresh paint throughout the entire house and plush new carpet on the stairs and upper level. If you are looking for a move-in ready home that is conveniently located near everything, this home is a MUST SEE! **Grant programs are available to qualified buyers to assist with downpayment and closing costs. **
