Fall in love with this picture-perfect bungalow's blend of vintage charm and fresh updates. Exposed brick, rich hardwood floors and tons of natural light provide a warm and inviting tone as soon as you enter the home. The recently renovated kitchen opens to the dining room and flows seamlessly into the living room creating the ideal space for entertaining or simply relaxing at home. Three bedrooms including the spacious second floor retreat with skylights and two baths ensure room for everyone. The finished basement is perfect for a family room, play space, office or even an additional bedroom. There you will also find the bright, cheerful laundry room and the second full bath. Outside, enjoy a private, fenced backyard oasis, ideal for summer barbecues or morning coffee. You will even have your very own fruit trees! The convenience of a large mud room off the kitchen, two car garage and a location just steps from top-rated schools, parks and public transportation make this home a true gem!
