About this House

Charming Updated Bungalow in a Prime Location This cute bungalow offers a great combination of charm, updates, and location—just 2 blocks from the high school and 5 blocks from the middle school. Recent improvements provide peace of mind, including some fresh interior paint (2026), a new garage door opener (2026), a new water heater (2025), and some new interior sewer line (2026). Additional major updates include a replaced sewer line to the street (2020), updated electrical panel (2020), and the addition of an egress window (2020), creating a 3rd legal bedroom in the basement. The home also features newer vinyl windows throughout. The basement has experienced minor groundwater backup during past city flooding, but the home itself did not take on standing flood water. With its solid updates, added living space, and convenient location, this home is a fantastic opportunity. Don’t miss your chance to make it yours!

    "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. "

    "great neighborhood... two annoying dogs bark all the time to the east of me. 2 doors down to my west our neighbors lose their dog all the time and constantly telling their child to get out of the road. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ other than that its GREAT! 😉"
