859 S Sherman Street

Built in 1890, this Washington Park brick Victorian, lovingly named Henrietta, blends historic charm with modern updates. The inviting front porch is perfect for enjoying morning sunrises with coffee in hand. Inside, the main floor features a spacious living room with a new gas fireplace and original exposed brick (plus hardwood floors under the carpet!). The bright dining room with 9-foot ceilings and hardwood floors flows into an updated kitchen with interior-lit white cabinets, granite counters, and a charming brick chimney. Upstairs, two quiet bedrooms with hardwood floors share a full bath. The lower level offers a serene primary suite with 8-foot ceilings, an egress window, sitting area, built-in closets, laundry space, and a beautifully updated 3/4 bath with dual-shower heads, double sinks, and ample storage. The backyard is a tranquil oasis with full shade trees, a garden space, and a two-car garage. Framed by pines and deciduous trees, the irrigated yard is lush and colorful through summer and fall—a peaceful retreat near the city. Immersed in the city, the unbeatable walkability is a major plus. Stroll to Whole Foods, Sprouts, Wash Perk Coffee, Starbucks and Nixon’s, Pearl Street Fitness, and Pub on Pearl, or explore the countless restaurants on South Pearl and South Broadway. You’re just one block from the light rail and walking distance to Lincoln Elementary, Wash Park, and Platt Park. Thoughtful updates include blown insulation, storm windows, a high-end evaporative cooler, a new dishwasher (2024), a new hot water heater (2022), interior paint (2023), roof (2020), and carpet (2022). With a side entry, the basement is also ideal for Airbnb. This home is a true gem at an incredible price in this sought-after neighborhood!
