A rare opportunity to own a unique piece of Beaverdale history with this charming 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom original Lustron home. Its porcelain coated steel panels inside and out are just a small part of its uniqueness. This home has been meticulously maintained to keep its genuine color, beauty and charm. The roof shingles, window casements, cabinets and doors are all original and made of coated steel as well, leaving for little to no maintenance. Updated electrical, outlets, bathroom vanity, lighting fixtures, plumbing, counter tops and appliances were all made with careful consideration of 1950’s style. A garage was added for your convenience, complete with matching porcelain coated exterior steel panels. New asphalt was added to the driveway in 2022. This is a move-in ready mid-century modern lover’s dream! Walking distance to shopping, dining, parks and much more.
