Set in the Kenmore School District, 251 Wendel Ave blends comfort, character, and thoughtful updates in a location close to everything. Step inside to an inviting first floor featuring an eat-in kitchen with included appliances, a bright dining area, and a full bath refreshed with a 2025 Bath Fitter upgrade.

A convenient first-floor bedroom rounds out this level. Upstairs, a charming second bedroom with hardwood floors connects to an attic area ideal for storage or a future finished space. The fully finished basement expands your living options with a sizable recreation area, a bar setup, and a utility room complete with a washer and dryer.
