This 1923 craftsman style home is in town next to schools and within walking distance of shopping. Bring some modern upgrades to this 2- bedroom, 1 bath home while keeping the charm of the original fir floors and wide trim. The unfinished basement could be another bedroom, den or office. Keep cozy by the fireplace in the living room during the colder months. Enjoy the private patio and level, fenced backyard during the warmer months. Do the work yourself and build some sweat equity. Use the detached 1-car garage with attached carport as a workshop or storage while you work on your house. Both sides of the lot are on city streets for easy access. Like to fish or just enjoy the river? Nearby Cowlitz River can be accessed on foot or by car and boat ramps are just minutes away.
