Bungalow with Big Potential! This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home—built in 1940 and just a short stroll from the lake across the street—is ready for its next chapter. You will appreciate the unique layout, abundance of closet and cabinet space and the main-floor laundry room. Exterior maintenance will be limited with the new vinyl siding installed July 2025. Entertain in style on the two-tiered deck! There is a fenced yard and roomy detached garage. Previous long-time tenants loved the friendly neighbors and welcoming community, and it shows in the warm, established feel of the area. Step across the street and drop a fishing line in Crisp Lake—it’s that close! This is an affordable option for first-time home buyers or for investors seeking a solid rental. Close to shopping and easy highway access. A little polish will go a long way toward making this vintage bungalow shine!
