    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.

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.
