This early twentieth century bungalow may have seen better days but she is worthy of rehabbing. The home has large rooms and high ceilings, original woodwork that has been painted, and original wood floors (some hardwood and some soft) that need refinishing. The kitchen no longer has its original cabinetry, but it does have oak cabinetry now that is a much later addition.
