Property Description

Delightful and full of charm, this cottage-style bungalow has been lovingly updated over the years and is ready for its next owner to make it their own. The home features beautiful hardwood floors and original crown molding, seamlessly blending classic character with modern touches. The updated kitchen is a standout, boasting white cabinets, a marble tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and unique butcher block-style countertops repurposed from a 1900s bowling alley. The main floor offers two bedrooms, one with a custom hand painted mural with an ocean theme, and a remodeled half bath, which can be converted back into a full bath if desired. Upstairs, you'll find one finished bedroom with a custom hand painted mural with forest critters, while a second space awaits your ..... creative touch or can continue to serve as storage. The lower level provides additional living space, including a cozy family room accented by a custom shiplap wall, a remodeled full bath with custom tile, and and a non-conforming bedroom/office complete with a walk-in closet, just add an egress window to complete the space. This home offers the perfect combination of vintage charm and thoughtful updates, making it an inviting canvas for its next chapter. Situated on a corner lot, this home offers excellent access to wherever you need to go! The driveway and garage are conveniently located off the side street of Malta, which features a traffic light for easy access to Fuller Street. A beautifully crafted stone retaining wall enhances the property's curb appeal and maximizes the space. Outside, you'll find a private courtyard complete with a custom-built fence and patio, providing a cozy and serene retreat. A handicap ramp has been thoughtfully added, creating a prominent entrance to the main floor and offering accessibility for all. Whether it's for visiting guests or for kids to zoom down on their little bikes, squeals of laughter echoing behind them. The backyard further extends your living space with a private patio, designed with versatility in mind. Not only does it serve as a perfect spot for outdoor entertaining, but it was also poured to double as a potential foundation should you wish to transform the garage into a two-stall in the future. This outdoor space perfectly complements the charm and functionality of the home! **NOTE: Varnish on wood floors was wearing thin when we moved out. To protect them we hired a company to lay a coating over them for protection. It clearly didn't work. The product was faulty, but by then the renters had already moved in. We could not redo them until the renters moved out. We will be having the wood floor, stairway, and countertops professionally refinished upon closing. Work will be completed PRIOR to the buyer taking possession. Cost is $10,000.
