About This Home

This charming blue bungalow proves that the best chapters often begin in the coziest spaces. With 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and thoughtful recent updates, it's the kind of home that simply feels easy to love. Inside, fresh paint brightens every room while the welcoming layout creates a comfortable flow from the living area into the kitchen—perfect for quiet mornings, movie nights, or gathering with friends. Behind the scenes, improvements have already been made, including: new range vent above the stove, clearing of the entire backyard, repointed chimney, refreshed basement, and newer boiler system. Then there's the backyard... Over half an acre has been cleared into usable outdoor space, creating endless possibilities. Picture backyard barbecues, a firepit under the stars, room for pets to run, gardens to grow, or simply enjoying the privacy that comes with mature trees surrounding your own little retreat.
