    What's special

    Built in 1923, this charming bungalow sits on a generous sized lot and showcases timeless character alongside thoughtful updates. A large front porch with a mountain view welcomes you inside, where the living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace and the dining room features an elegant coffered ceiling. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, and a sunny breakfast nook. The rear bedrooms and kitchen open to a spacious deck that extends the living space outdoors and offers multiple sitting areas overlooking the park-like backyard. A partially finished basement provides added versatility with a full bath and a laundry area with built-in cabinetry. Additional highlights include hardwood floors, recessed lighting, dual-paned windows, and a detached garage.
