Stop paying rent. This is the PERFECT bungalow for you! Situated in a super private location, you'll feel like you're in a rural setting, yet you're walking distance to uptown and downtown. Woodstove in basement conveys, so heating costs are manageable. New propane hot water heater. Hardwood floors shine! Newer roof and exterior shingle siding. Great side yard for gardening, and extra lot provides additional privacy. Watch amazing sunsets from your rear western-facing deck. This is a little gem. Come see for yourself!
