This charming, updated bungalow sits on a third of an acre with a park-like backyard. You'll love the original trim and the abundance of natural light throughout. The spacious deck leads to an enclosed front entryway with LVP flooring, then opens into the large living room. The updated white kitchen offers ample cabinet space, a dedicated eat-in area, and stainless steel appliances. Two bedrooms and a fully updated bath complete the main level. Fresh paint and flooring throughout. Outside, enjoy the private covered patio overlooking the picturesque backyard. The walkout basement is unfinished, offering plenty of storage. The HVAC was replaced in 2019, roof in 2017, and the water heater in 2022. Situated on a quiet street, this home is close to the zoo, airport, restaurants, and offers easy access to downtown and the rest of the metro. All information obtained from Seller and public records.
