Classic bungalow that wraps three bedrooms, two full baths, and a finished basement in a bright, well-kept interior full of vintage character. Inside, the living room welcomes you with hardwood floors, coved ceilings, a built-in wall niche, and graceful arched doorways. The dining area glows with natural light from a lovely bay window and flows right into the kitchen, which offers tile floors and plenty of cabinet space. Two main-level bedrooms with hardwood floors share a full bath with a tub and shower. The staircase leads up to the private primary bedroom, a spacious retreat with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a bonus loft area with built-in shelving that works beautifully as a home office, reading nook, or dressing area. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a large open family room, a second full bath with a walk-in shower, laundry, and plenty of closet storage. Out back, the fenced yard is filled with mature trees and lush landscaping, with a detached one-car garage and lots of room to garden or play. Welcome Home!
