This 1929 bungalow runs deeper than it looks from the street. The main floor stretches well past the two bedrooms and kitchen into a large sunken family room at the back — complete with a gas fireplace, French doors to the patio, and the washer and dryer tucked onto a platform in the corner.
The kitchen is functional with stainless appliances, a tile backsplash, and white cabinetry, but it reads more as a mid-2000s update than a modern renovation. The basement adds two more rooms and a rec room, though the ceiling is completely unfinished — exposed joists and pipes throughout.
Outside, there's an above-ground pool, a covered concrete patio, and a detached garage, but several elements — the weathered deck, the raw porch skirting, the garage door — need real attention. This is a property with more space than the listing photos suggest, but buyers should plan for ongoing work.
