Here is a Gem !! This Cute little bungalow style home received a foundation up restoration in 2009 and updates in 2020. This historic home was once one of the package home kits that were available for purchase at the local lumber yard. According to Jim Olsen of Slavens True Value, customers in the late 1940's and 50's could order the home from a number of designs and then the home was constructed on site. The Slavens family created this subdivision and a number of the homes in this subdivision are of this type of construction. All electrical, plumbing, sewer and water main lines have been replaced. Beautifully refinished original wood floors, alder cabinets, and lots of quality lighting. The efficient kitchen is accented with ceramic and glass tile with a spacious separate dining room right around the corner. The back yard is completely privacy fenced and both front and back yards have automatic sprinklers. The back yard is wonderfully landscaped with a stone accented seating area and fire pit surrounded by lovely perennial gardens and raised garden beds for vegetable gardening. The gated alley access is great for additional parking and access to the backyard. The seller recently installed a fantastic 16 X 12 storage shed that includes a quaint covered porch for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful flowers and plants. All the fencing was recently maintained and painted so there's not much to do but enjoy life at home in a wonderful setting.
