This beautifully preserved 1932 Craftsman bungalow seamlessly blends vintage character with modern upgrades. A thoughtfully added rear addition expands the home with a spacious primary suite, vintage-style kitchen with breakfast area, and open family room. The main level has two bedrooms, perfect for guests or home office space. The charming kitchen has timeless appeal with huge farm sink, white cabinets and red counters, all while offering modern amenities like a center island and stainless steel appliances (including a chef's range), all of which flows into a cozy family room with a gas fireplace. The owners' suite is a soothing retreat, featuring two walk-in closets (including secondary washer/dryer) and a luxurious bath—complete with a soaking tub, large shower, and dual sinks. The upstairs guest rooms also offer generous storage and share a charming full bath. The lower level offers tons of flexibility for play, hobbies, relaxation, or fitness with a tiled rec room, abundant storage, a full bath, and outside access. Recent updates include newer roof, and a tankless water heater. The windows and front door were replaced in 2019, and the front porch now features durable Trex decking. The backyard is fenced and summer ready! Relax and barbecue on the partially covered deck and enjoy a light breeze from the ceiling fan. It overlooks the yard with mature landscaping. The home also includes a detached 2-car garage, perfect for parking or extra storage for outdoor gear. Enjoy the convenience of a walkable lifestyle—a community bus stop, grocery store, shops, and restaurants are just a block away! Classic charm, modern convenience, and an unbeatable location—this home is a must-see, and the porch swing conveys!
