This home is proof that good things really do come in smaller packages. From the street, it’s easy to underestimate. But the interior surprises you. Fresh updates make it feel bright and clean, with three bedrooms and a full bathroom all on the main floor. The attached garage opens straight into the kitchen, making grocery trips easy. The exterior lines and window placement give a subtle nod to its mid century roots, and the eat at bar keeps the kitchen feeling social.
Downstairs, the bonus space is the real plot twist: a second living area, a vintage kitchenette, a 3/4 bath, and its own exterior stairs. It's a setup that invites creativity whether you want space for guests, hobbies, or potential rental use. Outside, the lot is surprisingly generous, along with an extra shed and a small fenced section in the backyard for a little added convenience. All of this in a convenient Norwalk location and under $200k. It’s small but mighty, and it just might be the one you never saw coming.
