A classic bungalow with modern updates and a versatile layout
Welcome home to this surprisingly spacious bungalow near the Jewett-Southside-Memorial school complex and all the conveniences of South Willow Street!
With 4 bedrooms and a versatile layout, it can accommodate your current needs and offers plenty of opportunities to expand, reconfigure, or repurpose tocreate equity.
After you've moved in you can plop down on a comfortable chair on the covered front porch and start meeting your neighbors (and their dogs!).
The first thing you'll notice as you walk in are the open entry and huge living room--bright, airy, and with plenty of elbow room for everyone.
The big, south-facing windows allow plenty of light to brighten the room.
That entryway is big enough to serve as a home office, and leads to a large dining room where friends and family can gather to share a meal or a round of Monopoly.
Just off the dining room is the first of two bedrooms on the first floor that could easily serve as home offices, guest rooms, craft/game rooms, etc.
The bathroom between the bedrooms was renovated in 2015
The second bedroom on the first floor:
The kitchen is also accessed directly from the dining room and features charming period cabinets and classic sink.
The first floor is rounded out by a rear breezeway that leads to the back yard, but you could certainly blow that out and expand the kitchen if you wish.
Upstairs you'll find two sizable bedrooms connected by a wide hall that feature hard pine floors that will look lovely when refreshed.
This first bedroom upstairs includes a spacious closet that could be opened into one of the attic spaces to create a wonderful walk-in closet fit for a fashion diva! And across from that attic space is a second that could be converted to a second bathroom. (See the floor plan below.)
The second bedroom is slightly larger and catches some of that nice southern light as well.
Back downstairs and out back past the kitchen, you'll discover a cute backyard that, while modest, has plenty of room for gatherings and gardens without making you a weekend slave to excessive yard work
An extra-wide one-car garage rounds out the package, and the long driveway will fit at least four cars, so during the next snow emergency you won't be scrambling to find off-street parking.
And while the house retains some of its early twentieth-century charm, you'll be glad to know that most of the important systems have all been updated. The furnace was converted from oil to gas (with a Buderus boiler) 10 years ago; architectural shingles were installed on the roof 13 years ago; and the gas hot water heater was replaced 6 years ago. And because of the footprint of the house, the basement is quite large and has tons of room for storage, laundry, workbench, and materials.
The location is not far from the Jewett-Southside-Memorial school complex and St. Anthony Park, as well as all the conveniences of South Willow Street.
Between the location, the period charm and modern updates, and the versatility of the layout, this home represents a great value and a great starting point for the new homeowner. Don't wait to check it out!
