Inside the home
The real story here is the outbuilding setup. An 18x24 detached garage wired with a 60-amp panel sits beside a separate cedar-sided storage barn — a combination that is genuinely hard to find on a city lot in Holmedale. Buyers who need serious shop or storage space will notice this immediately. Inside, the 1949 bungalow has been steadily updated rather than fully renovated. The main floor has newer laminate floors, a white shaker kitchen, and a covered deck with a stacked stone accent wall that works well for outdoor living. The primary bedroom connects to a walk-in closet with stacked laundry and a private ensuite. The finished basement adds a rec room with a reclaimed wood plank ceiling and a fourth bedroom, though the utility section remains unfinished. Mechanicals are a strong point: roof (2016), furnace, A/C, and electrical panel (2017), full sewer line replacement (2015). The house carries its age honestly — buyers should factor in the 1949 construction — but the infrastructure work is done.
