The kitchen is equipped with gas cooking and newer appliances, including the refrigerator, stove, stackable washer and dryer, and vent hood. A 2023 HVAC system with a dehumidifier, a low-maintenance metal roof, and high-speed internet bring modern convenience without sacrificing the home's historic appeal. Outside, the nearly one-acre property offers room to breathe. Mostly fenced and bordered by woods on the side and rear, the setting feels private and peaceful. Enjoy your morning coffee from the rocking chair front porch, spend evenings with the sounds of nature on the brick patio, or tend the raised garden beds already populated with blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. A perennial garden, storage shed, and parking for three vehicles complete the property. Rare is a word that's often overused in real estate, but it fits here. A tastefully updated 100+ year old bungalow with so much original character, situated on nearly an acre of land, with county taxes, and a price that's increasingly difficult to find in today's market is a combination that doesn't come along often.
