About this home

Priced below appraisal! This classic bungalow blends historic charm with smart updates already in place: all new windows, a new garage door, and new front steps. Settle in on the front porch, the perfect spot for morning coffee or waving to neighbors. Inside, original hardwood floors run throughout (we've been told they're even in the kitchen under the linoleum!), and lots of natural light shows off the home's vintage character. The fireplace is a classic focal point (never used by this owner). The kitchen includes a newer refrigerator that remains. Two bedrooms and one full bath. The spacious walkout basement offers plenty of storage, a one-car garage, and a newer washer and dryer that also remain. Out back, the back porch overlooks a roomy yard with ample room to add a garage or shed.
