Cute as a button 1925 bungalow packed with original character and thoughtful updates. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home showcases timeless details you simply can’t recreate with original built-in bookshelves, hardwood floors, original windows, and a classic fireplace that anchors the living space. Modern conveniences blend seamlessly with the charm, including an updated bathroom, brand-new appliances, and a newer water heater. Major improvement already handled with a new roof in 2025. The screened-in porch is a standout feature, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. A full basement offers ample storage or future expansion potential. Outside, you’ll find a one-car garage with an attached carport. Ideally located close to downtown Belleville, shops, dining, and the bike trail. Home will pass Belleville occupancy, making this a move-in-ready opportunity with character, comfort, and location all in one.
