About this House

Start Fresh on Second Street! This bungalow is more than just a house—it’s a blank canvas waiting for its next chapter with a little TLC needed. Step inside to discover warm wood floors that stretch through the living room, where natural light filters in and an arched doorway leads you toward the kitchen. With two bedrooms plus a bonus space, the layout adapts easily to your lifestyle—whether that’s a home office, guest room, or hobby retreat. Practical updates like brand-new central air in 2025 give peace of mind, while the two bathrooms provide convenience for busy mornings. Outside, the detached garage offers covered parking and storage, and the extra-deep backyard invites summer barbecues, gardening, or simply space to let kids and pets play freely. Centrally located and full of potential, this home is ready for someone who wants affordability without giving up charm, space, or updates.

    "I lived in this neighborhood for 4 years and couldn’t be happier about the environment, plenty of parks to walk to in the mornings with the YMCA in walking distance. Would recommend to anyone looking for a well put together community that’s quiet. I even still own my home in the area because it’s just that great. "
