Don't let the sun go down on you! Although you've searched and searched, it's always someone else who wins ... if that is your sad lament in this crazy market, let this darling home be your ray of sunshine! The present owners have painstakingly updated just about everything in this 1941 bungalow--standing seam metal roof in 2020, HVAC in 2016 and 2024, water heater 2016, mudroom and office addition 2019, kitchen and bathrooms renovated (and plumbing updated), electrical panel updated--and all of it permitted! Electric car charger too! On an expansive .26 acre lot with an oversized (and conditioned!) two-car garage plus two sheds tethered by the sweetest little covered deck, there is nothing to do but move in and make yourself a cup of tea to enjoy on the delightful front porch. The upstairs built into the cozy eaves is the perfect retreat that includes three closets plus a lovely full bath as well as a seating area. The main floor bedrooms are spacious and the shared hall bath has oodles of storage. The kitchen is the perfect social center of the house with loads of counter space to prep meals or knead dough. A thoughtful coffee station is tucked into a nook next to the pantry. The custom cabinets include slide-out shelves to make it easy to find that last can of black beans hiding in the back. Ninth Street/Broad Street scene a quick roll/stroll away. Three neighborhood parks just steps away!
