Downtown charm with a head start on homeownership and a future full of possibilities! This move-in-ready brick bungalow in Meadowbrook pairs the character buyers love—hardwood floors, timeless appeal, and an established downtown neighborhood—with major updates already completed. Enjoy a manageable lot across from a neighborhood parklet and a location that's walkable to Brookside, Oakwood Dog Park, and the Person Street District. Recent improvements include new electrical service and water/sewer connections (2024), a renovated bathroom (2021), water heater (2015), and HVAC and ductwork replacement (2011). The combination of walkability, downtown access, and move-in-ready condition also creates compelling potential as a highly marketable short-term rental. Pre-listing inspections are available for review.
