About This Home

As of March 2023

Adorable home on a corner lot with loads of charm. This home was once occupied by a lumber yard owner and it reflects the love for quality woodwork within the house. The attractive screened in porch greets you as you walk to the front door. Inside you will find custom cabinets, built-in cupboards and shelving, a bay window and a gas fireplace and an open concept through large arched door openings on the main floor. Two bedrooms on the second floor have built-in desks and dressers and in addition the master features a walk-out to a balcony. A 4th bedroom could be used as a guest room for Grandma. A custom wet bar and a wood burning fireplace are located in the cozy basement media room. Outside, a concrete patio, garden beds, and perennials look on to a view of Hallgren Park. A newly installed solar panel system will help you save on electricity. Take a short walk to downtown for entertainment and food if you wish. This home is just waiting for a new family to move in and add their own special touch!
