About this home
Welcome to 538 Clayton Ave ‹” a completely reimagined downtown bungalow where classic charm meets modern craftsmanship. Taken down to the studs and rebuilt with intention, this home offers a true top-to-bottom renovation that feels brand new in every way. Major upgrades include a brand-new roof, new windows, brand-new garage door, new exterior doors, fresh paint, a brand-new water heater, and a newer furnace and air conditioner that have been professionally serviced. The big-ticket items are done, providing both confidence and comfort. Inside, you'll find all new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new carpet, custom cabinetry, and Calcutta marble laminate countertops throughout. The cabinets and vanities are custom painted Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore, creating a bold, cohesive design. The original interior doors have been refinished and painted in Iron Ore as well, paired with all new matte black hardware for a clean, modern finish that still honors the home's character. The main level offers functional living space, while the upstairs third bedroom is truly exceptional at approximately 35' x 13'. It can easily serve as a massive bedroom, primary suite, bonus room, recreation space, or additional living area. This flexibility allows for multiple layout options depending on your lifestyle. The fully finished basement adds even more versatility, featuring a second full bathroom, a spacious non-conforming bedroom, and a true wet bar. The wet bar includes a large stainless steel drop-in sink and a built-in beverage refrigerator integrated into the custom cabinetry. Perfect for entertaining, hosting guests, or creating a private lounge or suite. One could use the lower level as a bedroom and the oversized upstairs space as a bonus room, or vice versa. Out back, the brand-new expansive deck is an entertainer's dream. It's large enough for a Blackstone grill or smoker, plus room for a dining area or a separate seating space. The lot is equally impressive, with mature trees providing an unusually private backyard setting for a downtown home. The property also features alley access, opening the door for a future additional garage with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) above ‹” ideal for rental income, guest quarters, or a private office or studio. Located in the Wells St/State Blvd Corridor this home blends historic character, modern systems, lovely finishes, exceptional outdoor living, and future expansion.
