About This Home

Discover the enduring appeal of this 1940s-built 1.5-story residence, a 2 bed (with bonus rm!) 2 ba home that stands as a testament to quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Spanning a versatile layout on a level lot framed by mature perimeter trees, this well maintained property boasts gorgeous original hardwood flooring throughout the main level, creating a warm and timeless aesthetic. The heart of the home features two distinct gathering spaces, each anchored by a classic masonry brick fireplace: a cozy living room and an expansive 18x22 family room complete with a dedicated 8x5 wet bar for effortless entertaining. Two comfortable bedrooms are located on the main floor, while the upper half-story provides a private 18x15 carpeted bonus room. The kitchen is designed for durability with easy-to-clean vinyl flooring. Step outside to enjoy the serene, shaded yard or the convenience of the large, detached two-car carport.
