Description

Adorable bungalow awaits its new owner! Great mix of character and modern amenities throughout. Enclosed front porch, with solid surface flooring, is a fantastic area to create your dream mudroom/drop zone. Or use the space for a sitting area. Tall ceilings and original hardwood floors flow through the main level. You will be impressed by the amount of living room this home has to offer. The family room opens to an oversized dining area that could also be used for an office/playroom. The kitchen has been remodeled to feature new cabinets, countertops, stainless steal appliances, and ample storage. Two bedrooms, one of which has a large walk in closet, and a modernized full bath are located off the living room. Bring your creativity to transform the extra area off the kitchen- once used for a partial bath and now a laundry room. This home has so much to offer and would be the ideal starter home or rental property. Pride of ownership shines!
