While we wish this large, mid-1950s home hadn’t been quite so generically updated and staged, its classic lines, thankfully, remain. Located on the aptly named Sylvan Drive in the southern side of East Riverside-Oltorf, the stone, Hardiplank-type siding, and stucco house is a classic midcentury, ranch-style house, complete with split-level layout.
The first floor of the 2,974-square-foot house has a three-bedroom, two-bathroom living space upstairs as well as a spacious, one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment downstairs that includes a private entrance and its own laundry room. The setup provides quite a bit of flexibility, as the first-floor apartment has potential as a guest house or long- or short-term.
Built in 1954, the home has had many updates, including new windows, siding, flooring, roof, cabinets, counters, and appliances (including a wine cooler). The master shower has been expanded, and the landscaped lot, which measures approximately one-third of an acre, has room for pool or a secondary dwelling.

Unfortunately, the downstairs weren’t staged for the listing, but its clear that their wood floors, fireplace, and full kitchen have strong appeal.

An upstairs deck looks over a large backyard with lots of potential.
