Price Improvement! You have to see this one to appreciate the transformation! This classic all-brick Garden City bungalow underwent an extensive 2026 studs-out renovation, blending timeless character with the feel and functionality of a substantially newer home. The main level was redesigned for today's lifestyle, creating an open-concept living space highlighted by a beautiful new kitchen with an oversized island, abundant cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances and plenty of room to gather. Upstairs was reconfigured with raised ceilings and a newly added private bath, creating a true primary suite.
The renovation goes far beyond what you can see. Major improvements include a new roof, windows, siding and trim, exterior doors, electrical service and wiring, plumbing and PVC drains, gas lines, ductwork, high-efficiency furnace, central air, extensive insulation, drywall, flooring, interior doors, lighting and more. Both bathrooms have been beautifully finished with custom tile showers and built-in niches, while the interior features a fresh, neutral design that makes the home truly move-in ready.
Outside, the improvements continue with a new garage door and opener, seamless gutters, concrete walkways, patio, sod and landscaping. This isn't just an updated home—it's a complete transformation from the studs out.
