Inside the home
The big draw here is the outdoor setup: an 18x24 detached garage wired with a 60-amp panel and fully fitted as a workshop, plus a separate cedar storage barn on the same city lot. That combination is genuinely hard to find in this price range. Inside, the house is a 1949 bungalow that has been updated in pieces over the past decade. The kitchen has full-height white shaker cabinets and a gas range. The primary en-suite is updated with a vessel sink vanity. The finished basement has a standout reclaimed wood plank ceiling with pot lights. Major systems — furnace, AC, panel, roof, and full sewer line — were all replaced between 2015 and 2017. The living room ceiling is dated acoustic tile and the stacked laundry sits inside the primary bedroom rather than a dedicated space. Overall, the home is well-maintained with a mix of finish eras, and the lot and outbuildings are the genuine differentiator.
