About this home
Step inside this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow and feel right at home. Thoughtfully renovated inside and out, this home blends modern finishes with inviting warmth throughout. The open-concept layout flows into an updated kitchen with newer appliances, the main-level laundry adds everyday convenience, and the flooring and finishes are beautiful.
Gather around the wood-burning fireplace—with plenty of wood ready to keep things toasty all winter long. You’ll love the spacious closet, offering room for all your favorite clothes. The finished basement provides even more living space, featuring a non-conforming bedroom, a bonus area, and extra storage, perfect for guests or a quiet retreat.
Outside, you’ll find just as much to love—modern black trim, soffit, and gutters, a new metal roof (installed in 2024), and a fully fenced backyard ideal for pets, gardening, or relaxing evenings under the stars. There’s even a chicken coop area, two handy storage sheds, and low property taxes to keep ownership affordable and stress-free. This charming “Home, Sweet, Home: Hogar, Dulce, Hogar” offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and modern updates—ready for you to move in and start making memories that will last a lifetime.
Sellers are investing in electric baseboards and a mini split system for permanent heating in every room and cooling for the main level which is the reason for the price increase....
