About this House

Take a look at this charming bungalow blending
1920s character with chic boho vibes and

bathtub, this 1300 plus square foot home is full of
warmth and personality. Upstairs you’ll find two
large bedrooms with deep closets and ample
storage. Downstairs offers over 400 square feet

coffee, relaxing with a book, or catching up with
friends. Out back, you’ll love the fenced, treed
backyard complete with a storage shed and
garden space. This one has the character, the
space, and the vibe. It just feels like home. Many new updates including roof.
