About this property

Charming Waldo Retreat: Cozy Home with Historic Character and Modern Comforts

Step onto the large front porch of 75th Street Terrace and instantly feel at home. With a porch swing and two classic rocking chairs, this space is made for unwinding—whether sharing a glass of wine and laughter with friends as the night unfolds or savoring a quiet morning coffee while the world slowly wakes up around you. Inside, the warmth continues with a thoughtfully designed, charming interior that invites you to relax, recharge, and stay a while. This home’s cozy elegance and timeless appeal make it easy to settle in and hard to leave.

The Space

As you enter, the welcoming living room immediately sets the tone. The plush sofa and two additional armchairs create an intimate setting for conversation or catching up on your favorite shows with the large Smart TV ready for all your streaming needs. The open-concept flow from the living room to the dining area makes this a perfect spot for gathering—whether you’re enjoying a homemade meal, working remotely, or challenging friends to a game night around the table for six.

In the galley-style kitchen, every detail has been considered. Stainless steel appliances, a butcher block countertop, and a sleek white subway tile backsplash blend style and functionality. With a complete set of cookware, utensils, and dinnerware, you have everything needed to create a feast—or reheat takeout from one of the many restaurants just steps from your door. The coffee bar is a standout feature, offering multiple brewing options: Keurig, drip coffee maker, French press, and pour-over, ensuring every guest’s caffeine cravings are covered.

The main level houses two inviting bedrooms, each featuring a comfy queen-sized bed, soft blankets, and plenty of space to stow away your belongings. Full-length mirrors, nightstands with reading lamps, and convenient charging stations add to the sense of ease and comfort, creating personal retreats for every guest—a beautifully remodeled full bathroom with a large standing shower rounds out the main level’s offerings.

Venture upstairs to discover the expansive master suite, where two snug queen beds provide a perfect setup for families or groups. The ensuite bathroom offers a relaxing tub/shower combo, adding convenience and comfort. With nightstands, lamps, and ample storage space, the master suite ensures you can spread out, unwind, and truly make yourself at home.

Terrible access

Loved the place Butt access was terrible the drive was very small with high stone walls on either side and it went directly onto a busy street. We had an accident trying to get into it. This was not disclosed in the listing. It was only mention after we had booked it. I would not recommend this place to anyone
