A big “Hello” is what greets you as you walk up to the door of this single family home located at 1145 Ursula Avenue in University City.
This cheerful ambiance is evident throughout the home. The colors are neutral yet bold and keep you smiling throughout. The living room has a large southern facing picture window and the dining room has a bay window which adds space to the room as well as lots of light. 
The hardwood floors have been refinished throughout the first floor. The kitchen was redone about 10 years ago and has a classic look. The small breakfast bar makes for a great place for a little bit of homework and as a matter of fact usually has a computer sitting on it. The windows are newer thermal windows.
The upstairs space is certainly “fun”. It has nooks and crannies and lots of windows. The floors are the original pine floors painted. It is somewhat separated into two rooms making for a great master bedroom suite.
The current family has really made good use of the versatile floor plan of this home. At one time, the larger bedroom on the first floor was used for both kids and the parents used the bedroom that has the french door leading to the den. At this stage, they used the room in the basement as a family room. The upstairs was an artist studio for dad and they also had a sitting room on the upstairs level. Since then they have changed to the current configuration with the lower level being used as an artist studio and the upstairs as a master bedroom suite.
1145 Ursula Avenue is situated on a corner lot. The current owners have maintained the “country garden look” of the previous owner. It has rose bushes along the fence just like my grandma used to have. In the spring there are iris plants and many other perennials which give the home a feeling of the comfort of yesteryear. The grassses that have been added add a contemporary element to landscaping.
1145 Ursula Avenue was updated in 2006. It had been lived in for many years by the same person and had been gently used but was in need of a “boost”. The kitchen was redone at that time, the floors were refinished on the main floor and the 2nd floor was turned into workable rooms.
The whole house has thermal windows. The utilities are quite reasonable.
