Welcome to this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom bungalow located on the peaceful south end of town. Sitting on almost a quarter-acre corner lot, this home offers both space and convenience with a warm, inviting feel from the moment you arrive. Step inside to find a bright, comfortable layout featuring a large primary bedroom, ideal for creating your own personal retreat. The living areas are cozy and functional, making this home perfect for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking easy one-level living. Outside, enjoy the expansive yard and a 12x20 cement patio—the perfect spot for grilling, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors. With plenty of room for gardening, play, or future improvements, the possibilities are endless. The seller recently purchased the home and lovingly prepared it for move-in (and has been living in it), but an unexpected change now requires her to relocate out of the area—giving you a wonderful opportunity to make this charming property your own. Clean, move-in ready, and full of potential—don’t miss your chance to call this delightful bungalow home!
