About This Home
Properties like this one don't come along every day. 1920's bungalow with hardwoods throughout. Huge enclosed porch, walk up attic, good sized basement and mud room. This charming 2+1 sits on nearly a half acre double lot packed with flowers and fruit trees. Granny Smith and Red Delicious apples, Peaches, cherries, Bradford pears along with black and red raspberries are just some of what your yard gives you. With a huge 24x30 garage you've got room to find another use for the 2 sheds. But wait, there's more! Behind the garage is a 600 sqft shop! Currently used as a woodshop, but could make a great art studio, rehearsal space or even just a ton of extra storage! This unique find is on a quiet street, making it hard to believe that you're in the heart of the metro with easy access to everything! All appliances stay with the home, including the big freezer in the basement! Mower, TV and maybe a few other goodies included with acceptable offer!
