Property Description

Nestled in Eau Claire’s sought-after Putnam Heights neighborhood, this charming home is filled with the timeless details that make a house feel like home. From the moment you step through the inviting three-season sunroom, you’ll appreciate the warmth, craftsmanship, and character found throughout. Original hardwood floors, graceful arched doorways, and abundant natural light create a welcoming atmosphere, while thoughtful updates including fresh paint, newer flooring, and a furnace converted to natural gas provide modern comfort without sacrificing the home’s original charm. The spacious upper-level primary suite serves as a private retreat, offering generous closet space and custom built-in cabinetry. On the main level, two additional bedrooms and inviting living spaces make everyday living both comfortable and functional. Downstairs, the partially finished lower level offers even more flexibility with a spacious family room featuring an egress window, a full bathroom, and built-in cabinetry—perfect for movie nights, a hobby room, craft space, playroom, or home office. Step outside and you’ll find another favorite feature. The private patio and newly sodded backyard create an ideal setting for summer evenings, entertaining friends, or simply letting your four-legged family members run and play. A detached two-car garage adds convenience, while the established neighborhood offers tree-lined streets and a location that’s hard to beat. Situated just minutes from UW–Eau Claire, CVTC, parks, schools, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, this home perfectly balances classic character with thoughtful updates and an unbeatable location. If you’ve been searching for a home with personality, warmth, and a story to tell, this Putnam Heights gem is ready to welcome you home.
