About This Home
Charming bungalow-style one-story home with extensive recent updates and flexible living space. Major exterior improvements in 2022 include new roof, siding, gutters, and downspouts, enhancing durability and curb appeal. The deck was updated in 2024, and a new sidewalk connecting the deck to the driveway improves accessibility and outdoor flow. The main level features a functional, light-filled layout. A remodeled bathroom (2024) adds modern style, while the entire main level was freshly repainted in 2025 and updated with new flooring (2025), creating a cohesive, refreshed interior. The lower level offers approximately 280 square feet of improved space with drywall, paint, doors & trim, ceiling, and new lighting completed in 2024. Concrete flooring remains, providing a solid foundation and opportunity for future customization while serving as versatile space for recreation, workspace, or storage. An additional storage area adds further practicality. The detached 2-car garage features an updated interior, and a separate storage shed provides added exterior storage. The fully fenced front yard offers defined outdoor space with added privacy and usability. With major improvements already completed and additional usable space below, this home delivers move-in ready comfort with room to grow. Convenient access to shopping, dining, parks, and commuter routes enhances its appeal.
