This charming 2 bedroom bungalow has been brought back to life after a complete remodel! Original hardwood floors and trim are a showcase along with original exposed brick. Brand new appliances (refrigerator, stove and microwave) make this a very easy move-in ready place to be. The electrical has been updated and is up to code. Re-energize on the front porch or enjoy the screened in back porch for more privacy. Full basement is ready to be used for storage or a man-cave/she workshop. The yard is partially fenced in and there is a concrete pad off the alley for extra parking. Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy an older home with tons of character and a lot of modern updates!
