Not everyone needs a big house. Some buyers want a house of their own—and the yard, parking, storage and breathing room that come with it. This 1942 Hillman City bungalow makes that trade especially well, with light rail nearby. The 720-SF one-level plan is simple and efficient, with two real bedrooms, warm, old-growth fir floors beneath your feet, a paneled-and-beamed ceiling overhead, and an easy flow from living room to kitchen and dining. The kitchen is notably well-sized, with generous cabinetry and counter space, while sliding doors open straight to the deck and backyard, so daily life naturally stretches outside. The square footage stops at the walls. The usefulness doesn’t. On the 5,000-SF lot, mature trees frame a garden-like front approach and a broad fenced backyard with open lawn, deck and separate patio zones. Add the attached carport, detached shed, and a separate laundry/utility room with clean, dry, secure storage outside the living area, and the property works harder than its footprint suggests. Fresh paint, professionally cleaned windows and staging give the house a crisp presentation without pretending this 1942 bungalow is new. The home and sewer have both been fully pre-inspected, with reports available after preview. Enjoy the yard as it is, or keep your options open for what the land may allow over time. Either way, the immediate payoff is simple: less house to manage. Still a house of your own.
