Property Description

649 S. Ogden which sits mid-block on one of the prettiest tree-lined streets in the neighborhood, is more than a home… it's the Wash Park lifestyle. Walk two blocks to Washington Park, enjoy morning coffee on the covered front porch, sipping drinks in the evening with friends on the back patio.Double lots are rare here, and this one comes with the kind of side yard that enhances the whole property. This home strikes that balance you don't often find: original character, thoughtfully preserved, paired with meaningful recent work. Brick exterior, freshly painted trim give it that classic West Wash Park feel. Inside, a bright living room with oversized windows and a fireplace flows into the dining area and an updated kitchen with quartz counters, stainless appliances, a 2025 induction stove / oven. Four bedrooms, two and a half baths. The primary expansive 5-piece bath was remodeled in 2021, and a purpose-built laundry nook adds stackable laundry, custom cabinets, and space for folding. The finished basement offers another full suite: a generous bedroom paired with a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring a double vanity and frameless glass shower. Flexible enough for a primary retreat, a teenager's hideaway, or a guest setup. The garage is the part most buyers won't see coming. Built from the ground up in 2022 with an attached 734-square-foot home office, gym and / or added living space. This space has its own heat and AC. Skylights pull in steady natural light, the space is yours to shape. EV-ready garage. The build also expanded the backyard, leaving a private patio and a south-facing vegetable garden. Mechanically, everything has been handled. New furnace and AC in 2025. New water heater in 2023. Nest system throughout. Move in and live in it as is or hold the double lot and zoning as long-term upside that quietly compounds. Either way, a special West Wash Park property that doesn't come to market often, inside the coveted Steele Elementary boundary.
