Upstairs you’ll find generously sized bedrooms with great natural light, updated carpeting, and simple finishes that make moving in easy.

A back entry/mudroom space adds convenience and everyday practicality. Outside, the large yard provides endless possibilities for gardening, entertaining, pets, or future expansion. A detached 2-car garage adds value. Whether you're looking for a move-in ready home at an affordable price point or a solid investment with sweat-equity upside, 1440 21st St offers both. Plenty of updates already complete, and plenty of opportunity still ahead.
