Property Description

Set in the heart of Valley Junction, this bungalow sits just blocks from local shops, restaurants, antique stores, murals, and one of the best farmers markets around. Summers around here come alive with events, music, and people. The home itself carries the kind of character and detail this area is known and loved for. Hardwood floors, original trim, and craftsman-style touches throughout. The kitchen itself is a standout. Magazine-worthy, complete with skylights that let in natural light throughout the day, new appliances, and more storage than you'll know what to do with. There’s something special here. Not everything is finished, but what’s here is worth building on. With a two-car garage plus an additional single-car garage, there’s no shortage of storage or workspace. This is a home with a story, in a location that continues to draw people in. It’s ready for someone who sees the value in what’s here and what it still has yet to become.
