Such an adorable bungalow built in 1935 with a great front porch and back deck sitting on an acre and a half. The big living, country eat-in kitchen, and enclosed back porch give so much room for living! One bedroom and bathroom on the main level, and two more bedrooms upstairs. Full basement with walk-out. The enclosed porch on the back opens up to the 384 sf deck and the huge backyard. The Sauerhage family has lived in this home for many years and loved it. But they need to downsize a bit, mow less and no steps! The historic tile garage with a 300 foot parking in front is 1680 square feet and was a former service station. The station/car repair business closed in 1971 and there may still be some old fuel tanks in the ground there. But it makes for some great storage! Lots of updates and repairs made after the recent storm: new roof in 2023, new vinyl plank flooring and rewiring upstairs 2023, rewiring living room 2023, copper water lines replaced in 2021, furnace and a/c 2015 (high efficiency electric) and water heater 2018. Deck was built in 2015 and new shower in 2018. Come and see this one soon. Sellers are motivated and selling as-is.

Feels like home - this adorable 3 bed-1 bath is ready for a new family to love it. From watching the sunset on the front porch to relaxing in the fenced backyard on the new deck (2025), you will enjoy all that this home has to offer. The kitchen/dining area are open with access to the deck; living room is cozy, the three bedrooms are at the end of the hall, and the bathroom has been freshened and updated. The two-car carport offers off-street parking and the driveway is concrete. The former attached garage has been refashioned as a laundry and storage room, but with a mini-split this could be an additional family room or bedroom as there is access to the backyard and french doors on the front. The roof was new in 2019; A/C new in 2022, Water heater 2018, new PVC plumbing installed in 2025. The furnace is older but the owner works in heating & cooling and has maintained it expertly over the years. Don't let this one get away. It's priced to move and won't last long.
