About This Home
As of May 2026Charming and well-cared-for 2-bedroom bungalow offering great value and plenty of opportunity for a new owner to make it their own. This modest home has been lovingly maintained over the years and is priced with updates in mind, making it an ideal choice for first-time buyers or anyone looking to build sweat equity.
Beneath the retro 70's shag carpet you'll find hardwood floors just waiting to be uncovered and restored. The basement offers additional potential with taller ceilings and room for future improvements, including the possibility of adding a second bathroom.
Outside, a detached garage provides ample storage and workspace. And for added peace of mind, the home includes a whole-house generator that was recently serviced, rare bonus that keeps the lights, refrigerator, and TV running even when these spring storms roll through. With a little TLC, this solid bungalow could become a wonderful endearing home with room to grow and personalize.
