About This Home
As of March 2024This Historic SEARS home has an airy feel, 9 foot ceilings, and was built in 1927 and professionally rehabbed in 1995. A covered porch welcomes you into this 2 bedroom bungalow. Simple design, with several architectural details; a front porch, which spans the width of the home, and features double hung windows, opens to a open living dining room. Quaint kitchen in the back of the home has eat-in space. Hardwood floors, wood paneled doors, and gorgeous wood trim add grace and old word charm. This home sits on corner lot with a cozy outdoor space, unattached garage, and professionally landscaped yard beyond the garage. The basement has been completely painted and refreshed for multi purpose use: laundry/ storage/play space. The clipped roof (known as a Jenkins head roof) contributes to the home's charm. No wonder they named it SUNLIGHT model! "You can live a nice lifestyle, complete with a little panache and craftsmanship, in a small house that is well built." Home ownership awaits.
