Character is in abundance with this craftsman style bungalow south of Grand. Covered front porch, original hardwood floors, beautiful trim, built-ins, and numerous windows capture the natural light throughout the home. From the charming entry it opens to the family room including a fireplace, and the dining area featuring built-ins. Modern conveniences include an open concept, updated kitchen and appliances with a large pantry. The main level includes 2 bedrooms plus a sizable addition that would make an amazing master bedroom. The addition features a fireplace and panoramic windows to enjoy the backyard views with access to the deck. Highlighting the lower level is a suite with its own bathroom. Enjoy the outdoors on the deck overlooking the fenced backyard which includes a storage shed. Furnace & A/C replaced in 2021/22.
