Step right into the real deal—a charming 1930s bungalow tucked into the heart of Historic Ghent. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath cutie brings all the good vibes, starting with a bright, happy sunroom/studio on the back of the house, wrapped in windows for all-day sunshine. Head upstairs and you'll find a fantastic 389-square-foot bonus space that stretches almost the full length of the home—perfect for whatever you dream up.
Fresh, cheerful paint inside and out sets the tone, and the spacious back deck gives you options: hang out in the shade or soak up the sun. There's even a hot tub waiting inside its own cozy gazebo, plus the sweetest little storage shed. The fenced-in backyard offers plenty of privacy, while the classic front porch is begging for rocking chairs and friendly chats with neighbors.
The primary suite seals the deal with great natural light and an ensuite featuring a dreamy clawfoot tub. This home is all charm, all personality, and ready for you to move right in!
