The kitchen boasts stainless appliances, granite countertops, and ample storage space, making it a dream for any culinary enthusiast.
The bathroom features a new vanity and new flooring. The real stunner, though, is the original stained glass window. Good News!!! A second bathroom is being installed and will be complete in about 3 weeks. Come take another look if you’ve already seen it or come for the first time.
One of the standout features of this property is the presence of stunning stained glass windows throughout the house. These windows add a touch of elegance and uniqueness to the home’s interior, allowing natural light to filter through and create a warm ambiance. Furthermore, the house benefits from thermal windows, ensuring energy efficiency and insulation, which helps in maintaining a comfortable indoor climate year-round.
Inside, gleaming hardwood floors add a touch of sophistication to the living spaces. The beautiful woodwork enhances the overall appeal of the home, creating a sense of timeless charm. The arched doorways and natural wood doors add to the flavor of the 1930’s charm.
In addition to the interior features, the property offers a double lot, providing ample space for outdoor activities and potential expansion.

Let’s not forget the oversized one car garage! In addition, there is a full basement that has a non functional fireplace that could be a future project.
The combination of a well-maintained interior and a spacious outdoor area makes this gingerbread bungalow a delightful place to call home.
