Discover this charming 1.5-story bungalow, a true 1930s classic brimming with character and original details. Step onto the large front porch, a perfect spot for your morning coffee, and enter a home where craftsmanship of yesteryear is proudly displayed. The grand entry welcomes you with double colonnades flanking an open staircase, leading to the second level. Throughout the home, you'll find beautiful original 1930s woodwork and many original solid panel doors. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including a unique triple window with a rounded middle pane centered in the front. Downstairs, the traditional formal dining room offers a wonderful space for entertaining or enjoying everyday meals and a very spacious living room. There's plenty room downstairs for projects and the 3/4 bath with a roughed in but functional shower. Outside, a newer storage shed in the backyard provides convenient space for your tools and toys. Beyond its walls, this home boasts a remarkable connection to local history: it's located right next door to the home of Joseph Lee Heywood, the brave man who stood against the notorious James-Younger gang during their attempted Northfield bank robbery in 1876. Come home to this cozy vintage gem today and embrace the unique blend of history, character, and classic style that this Northfield bungalow offers!
