Reconfigured for better function, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow offers a clean and practical layout across 810 sq ft. Previously a 3-bedroom, the home was thoughtfully converted back to create a more livable flow.
Recent updates include new LVP flooring, fresh paint, updated fixtures, a refreshed vanity, newer windows, and major mechanical improvements: a new roof, gutters, HVAC system, sump pump, and washer/dryer.
Features include a three-season porch/mudroom, a restored built-in with shaker cabinetry and open shelving and a deep, european driveway extending to the alley with space for future garage potential.
Move-in ready, with an opportunity to personalize over time. Affordable price point offering strong value for owner-occupants or investors.
