Charming renovated Bungalow! This perfect home has everything you'd want both inside and out and rests in a beautiful neighborhood.

Off the kitchen is a cute sunroom, perfect for your morning coffee while listening to the birds. The main bathroom features a soaking tub, subway tile and all white fixtures. There are two bedrooms on the first floor and an additional bedroom, new half bath and laundry room with high-end washer/dryer on the lower basement level. There are many beautiful details not to miss, including vintage moldings and trim, new antique-look door hardware, and gorgeous refinished hardwood floors throughout. Other details include new windows, new water heater, a brand new furnace with Wi-Fi thermostat, updated plumbing and electric with AFCI/GFCI outlets, new electric service, and hard wired smoke detectors. The foundation was Perma-Sealed and the basement has two sump pumps and is dry. Outside you will find a beautifully maintained garden in the front, where something is always in bloom. The fenced-in back yard is an expansive paradise that features a stone patio, several fruit trees including cherry and peach and a huge strawberry bed, among more flowers.
