"Charming" may be an overused word in the English language and it's certainly overused in real estate descriptions. And there are plenty of other adjectives that could be put into service to describe this 2-BR move-in-ready bungalow on the near eastside: cute, delightful, lovely, adorable, pleasant and pleasing, among them. But I like the word "charming" because it gets to something else about this house that's caught by the history of the word, which dates back to the 12c French word "charm," which means something more along the line of an incantation-like a magic charm. And the magical charm of this house? Serenity. This little house breathes it. You'll feel it the moment you step inside. Aaahhhh. And sure, you want all the other stuff too: convenience (walk to town, campus, library, rec center, bike path), comfort (hardwood floors, sensible 1-level floor plan, lots of storage, large open living areas, bright happy bedrooms) and quality (great "bones," and just about every major mechanical system updated). And you get all that too. But if you long for a slow-down-the pace-and-live-more-simply-in-serenity kind of place, then this home is waiting for you. Come and get it. Now!
