Inside the home
This raised bungalow has five bedrooms across two finished levels, which is unusual for the price point in Henderson. The main floor was clearly the focus of updates — the kitchen and bathroom both received meaningful work, and the vaulted open-concept living area with skylights gives the upper level a roomier feel than the square footage suggests. The basement is fully finished but still carries its original mid-1990s look: carpet, brass fireplace surround, and an oak wet bar that has seen better decades. It functions well as extra living and sleeping space, but buyers should factor in cosmetic updates down the road. The detached double garage and separate workshop behind the house are a genuine practical asset, and the covered rear deck adds usable outdoor space. Furnace and AC were replaced in 2022.
