    What's special

    Two-stall garageNicely open concept layout
    Own a true piece of post-war American history with this charming two-bedroom Lustron home in Norwalk. Lustron homes were built after World War II to meet the country's growing housing demand, constructed with durable porcelain-enameled steel panels designed to last for generations - and this one is a wonderful example of that craftsmanship still standing strong today. Inside, you'll find a nicely open concept layout that makes the home feel larger than its footprint suggests. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space, perfect for the at-home cook, and flows seamlessly into a wide-open living room ? giving the whole main level great functionality for everyday living or entertaining. The two-stall garage offers even more versatility, with additional living quarters built into one side, including a second full bathroom. This space previously had its own furnace and currently has a heating and cooling system in place, with the option to add a furnace back in if desired ? giving you flexible options for a guest suite, home office, or additional living space. Located in the growing community of Norwalk, you're just minutes from the middle school and the aquatic center, making this an easy, convenient spot to call home. Pieces of history like this don't come around often. Come check out this one-of-a-kind Lustron home today!
