Welcome to this darling downtown Modesto historic home! Modern and updated single story home yet the charm of the south with a covered front porch. Hospitality and heirloom of antiques and family can bloom here. Imagine sipping tea while the kids or dogs play on the grass, with its very own privacy and quiet environment. As you enter the home, the cathedral ceilings welcome you to the open floor plan, easy to clean tile floors, newer paint, newer windows, newer roof, newer HVAC, and more! This whole house has been reimagined and redone several years back. Added office space or ADU possible. The very popular live music event, Porchfest, might be in the future for the new Owners. Don't wait for the opportunity to move right in to this beautiful bungalow!!
