Hardwood floors, rear deck, recessed lighting, pass-through room that could serve as 3rd bedroom or office. Lots of extra storage in crawlspace room.

Very cute mid-century home on a lovely street with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. This home could use some updating and TLC but has lots of potential. It gets lots of natural light and has nice flow, hardwood floors throughout and a bonus room that...
could be used as an office.
