From the moment you arrive, this attractive brick bungalow showcases timeless character and inviting curb appeal. Beautiful hardwood floors and abundant natural light enhance the spacious living and dining rooms, creating warm, welcoming living spaces. Just off the kitchen is a versatile bonus room currently used as a third bedroom but equally suited as a sunroom, den, or home office, with peaceful views of the beautifully maintained backyard. The convenient 13' x 7.4' main-floor laundry room adds everyday functionality. The walk-up attic provides excellent storage with potential for future expansion. The basement features a spacious bonus room currently used as a man cave, offering flexible space for a recreation room, media room, hobby area, or additional gathering space. Outside, enjoy the fenced backyard featuring perennial flower beds, beautiful hydrangeas, and a covered patio ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Major updates include a new roof (2025), newer replacement windows in the living room, dining room, bedrooms, bathroom, and most of the basement, a whole home humidifier, and water heater (2023). This well-maintained brick bungalow offers classic charm, thoughtful updates, flexible living space, and inviting indoor and outdoor amenities.
