    What's special

    This Craftsman bungalow with over 900 SF (plus a finished attic) sits in a quiet, scenic neighborhood just a short walk from Roosevelt and Ingersoll shops and restaurants. The all-season front sunroom has been refreshed with new flooring and improvements that make it a comfortable extension of the living space. Enjoy a beautiful sunset or a winter's snowfall. Inside, original hardwood floors and trim complement a fully updated kitchen with new cabinets, appliances, and lighting, along with an updated bathroom. Major improvements include a new roof, new siding, new windows, new doors, new HVAC, and fresh paint in the partially finished basement. Storage abounds with lots of extra shelving. Outside, the home features a replaced cement driveway and sidewalks, a detached garage, and a newly built 15 x 24 deck offering plenty of room for relaxing or entertaining. The property includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a finished attic, making it a move-in-ready home with thoughtful updates throughout. Located in an InvestDSM district, future owners can receive grant money towards future improvements.
