Inside the home
This is a well-maintained 1962 bungalow on a deep north end lot with a large detached two-car garage — a combination that is harder to find than it used to be. The main floor was freshly painted in 2025, the main bathroom was fully redone, and a new deck was built off the back of the house. Those are real, usable upgrades. The kitchen got a cosmetic refresh — new hardware, backsplash tile, sink and faucet — but the original oak cabinets and white appliances remain. Buyers who want a fully updated kitchen will need to budget for that work. The basement rec room is intact 1970s: wood panelling, drop ceiling, stone fireplace, and bare floors. It has good bones and a separate entrance, which makes it a reasonable candidate for an in-law suite conversion, but it needs a full gut to get there. The lot, the garage, and the established gardens are the property's strongest selling points alongside the 2025 updates.
