1181 S Clarkson Street

This updated 2-bed + office, 2-bath Victorian home with a 2-car garage is ideally located in the heart of the vibrant West Wash Park neighborhood, just minutes from the trendy shops and restaurants of Old South Pearl Street, the green spaces of Washington Park, and the charming Platt Park area. Plus, with the Pearl Street Station nearby, commuting and exploring the city is a breeze thanks to easy access to light rail services. The property features a modern cable railing fence around the front yard, complete with a sprinkler system, decorative grasses, and rock borders. Recent improvements include sleek black Pella windows and a roof replacement completed in the summer of 2024. Inside, the main level showcases newer hardwood floors, new light fixtures throughout, an open-concept living and dining area, and an updated kitchen with granite countertops, extra-tall cabinetry, and a gas range (Wirecutter pick). The main living area also includes custom-built bookshelves, adding character and charm. A bedroom on the main level offers flexible living options. There's also a bright office/bonus space with a new pocket door for privacy, and sliding glass doors open to a new concrete pad and a private backyard. One standout feature of this home is the exquisite custom wood staircase, which replaced the old spiral staircase. This upgrade enhances access to the master suite upstairs and the basement laundry, ready for new owners to enjoy. The upstairs master suite is a true retreat, offering a spacious bedroom with a private rooftop deck that provides mountain views and incredible sunsets. The suite also includes an updated ¾ bathroom, a large walk-in closet, and plenty of space to relax and unwind. Built in 2016, the two-car garage with alley access completes this rare opportunity to own a modern 1894 Victorian home in such a desirable location.
