This charming 3-bedroom bungalow in the popular historic Ghent Neighborhood is full of character and potential. This home offers spacious rooms and truly beautiful, original wood flooring. Many original features remain, such as the floors, the solid woodwork and doors, and beautiful original glass doorknobs. And like so many of Ghent's charming homes, this one has a roomy front porch for relaxing and talking to neighbors, or for entertaining on warm days and evenings. The fenced-in backyard gives you a convenient outdoor space with more privacy. Upstairs are two generous bedrooms and a bonus room tucked under the front dormer for a little extra charm and coziness. Downstairs includes a large laundry room, plus another bedroom or office space. With lots of original charm and character (they just don't make them like this anymore!), plus room for customization along with modern upgrades in the bathrooms and some needed sprucing up, this home is ready for you to love. This home is especially perfect for the old-home enthusiast looking for a modest home. Schedule your appointment today!
