About This Home
Timeless Craftsman character meets an unbeatable location just one block south of Kingman Blvd and a short stroll to Drake University and the vibrant Ingersoll district. This inviting bungalow showcases the warmth and charm of the era with rich hardwood floors, a welcoming covered front porch, and a classic fireplace that serves as the heart of the living room. Offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms—an uncommon find for a home of this vintage—the layout blends historic charm with modern flexibility. The generously sized rear bedroom includes a private bath and kitchenette, creating possibilities for a serene primary retreat, guest quarters, or mother-in-law suite. A detached one-car garage adds convenience, while thoughtful updates—roof (2020), furnace (2018), A/C (2020), water heater (2025), exterior paint (2023), and updated electrical—provide peace of mind. A true Craftsman gem ready for its next chapter.
