Awesome "gingerbread" bungalow in Bouldin Creek on a huge lot! Updated inside and out with walnut wood floors, modern plumbing fixtures & double pane windows. Stainless appliances & separate utility room. Amazing location! Property is zoned SF3 and would be a great candidate for an addition. An iron fence surrounds the entire property for security and privacy. Super cute and charming- check it out!
