    Beautiful original woodworkAlley accessRenovated bathroomGranite countertopsTwo inviting bedroomsNewer roofAbundance of cabinet space
    Darling bungalow in the heart of Highland Park! This home is full of charm with beautiful original woodwork and hardwood floors flowing through much of the main level. The kitchen is a standout —remodeled with an abundance of cabinet space, granite countertops, and a stainless steel refrigerator, plus a dining area that’s perfect for cooking together or hosting friends. The dining space opens into a generously sized family room that easily accommodates larger furniture, making it a great spot to relax or gather. Two inviting bedrooms are thoughtfully separated by a renovated bathroom that was reconfigured for better function (because we all love smart design!). Downstairs, you’ll find a spacious basement ideal for storage. Out back is a porch just waiting for its glow-up—picture string lights, comfy seating, and summer gatherings that go late into the evening With a newer roof and updated electrical and plumbing, plus alley access! Reliable income producer— (most recent rent at $995/month), this home offers both charm and opportunity. Imagine making it your own today!
