About this home

This charming 2-bedroom, 1½-bath bungalow has it all - prime location, original details and thoughtful updates. Enter through the traditional picket fence, across the front porch, and into a living room filled with original charm, including hardwood floors, a decorative mantle, and crown molding. The current owners have invested more than $60,000 in improvements, including a new sunroom in 2025 that adds 121 square feet of unheated space not included in the reported living area, a 2020 kitchen remodel with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances, a new half bath added in 2025, 2020 HVAC, and more. The result is a home that retains the character of its 1950s bungalow roots while offering modern updates and thoughtful functionality throughout. The location is hard to beat, with Willowbrook Park just ? of a mile away and Downtown approximately ? of a mile away. This home is well maintained, thoughtfully updated, and move-in ready.
