Absolutely adorable 2BR bungalow in Beaverdale. From the home's classic front door to the fenced backyard this house exudes character. In 2005 the sellers added a deck and fence and replaced the furnace/air with a new high-efficiency HVAC system including a humidifier. New carpet in the family room, dining area, and hall create a comfortable living space. The LL is partially finished with paneling and linoleum flooring, has a working shower & gas hook-up for dryer. If you're looking for additional storage and/or living space, there is a great attic with steps from the living area. The single detached garage has electricity & motion sensor lights & is large enough for a mid-sized SUV. On the back of the home is a 3-season porch that overlooks the lush green fenced backyard. Recent rock and edging around the front yard deck create a place for landscaping of your choice. Bottom line, this is a nice home in a nice neighborhood at a nice price!
