About This Home
As of July 2024Absolutely Charming bungalow with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths and a detached studio. Completely gutted and renovated in 2021, the current homeowner has added even more features and improvements in the past six months. Situated on a shady historic block just minutes to downtown Richmond and Manchester, you'll find sidewalks that are perfect for an evening stroll on morning run, or you can sit on the front porch and watch the world go by. Inside you will find an open floor plan with a living room, dining area, and kitchen, all with glowing reclaimed wide plank heart pine flooring, fresh paint, and flooded with natural light. With additional shelving and cabinets just added, the sleek, modern kitchen is laid out perfectly to offer amazing storage and workspace and flow - perfect for entertaining a crowd, an intimate dinner for two, or just you! The primary bedroom suite on the 2nd floor is NOT what you expect in the typical bungalow. It features a large bedroom, full modern bath, and an impossible to find walk in closet with built in custom storage/ dressers. There is an additional closet PLUS knee wall storage. A 2nd bedroom with closet and desk nook and a 2nd modern full bath are on the 1st level. Walk through the dining area through the sliding glass doors to a large, very private deck. Off the deck is the best kept secret: a heated and cooled Studio/Office. This highly functional flex space is the perfect location for either today's remote workers, to hone your skills at your favorite hobby, or to run a home business... or all three! The skylight brings in natural light and, like the rest of the home, the studio has warm heart pine floors. A wall heater and air conditioning unit means you can use it 12 months a year. The back yard has a new privacy fence with double gate and has enough room for 4 cars, a camper, and/or boat...Or use for your puppy's private playground. Come see this home today - it is sure not to last!
