Property Description

There's something special about a home that's stood the test of time--and this one wears it beautifully. Set on a generous 0.85-acre lot just outside the buzz of the city, this charming bungalow offers that rare blend of quiet country living with room to spread out. Originally built in 1940 and thoughtfully updated over the years, it still showcases the kind of craftsmanship you simply don't find anymore--solid construction, including impressively thick interior walls, and a warmth that feels instantly familiar. Life here naturally spills onto the oversized covered front porch, where mornings start slow with coffee in hand and evenings wind down in a rocking chair, soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the single-level layout keeps everything easy and accessible, with a comfortable flow that makes daily living feel effortless. The expansive lot gives you space to garden, play, or simply enjoy the open air, while the detached garage is ready for hobbies, projects, or weekend tinkering. And with no HOA, you have the freedom to truly make it your own. It's a home with history, heart, and just the right amount of breathing room. Photos are virtually enhanced for staging.
