Reconfigured for better function, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow offers a clean and practical layout across 810 sq ft.

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.
