Nestled in the quaint and walkable Grandview neighborhood, this charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow is just a short stroll to the MSU campus and nearby parks. The home features a full basement, a two-car garage, and a fully fenced backyard perfect for privacy and outdoor enjoyment. Inside, the living room showcases a gabled roof with mid-century rounded ceiling details, adding unique architectural character. The original hardwood floors were sanded and sealed in 2013, the same year the furnace was replaced and central AC was added for year-round comfort. In 2015, the electrical system was updated to support a generator, and the bathroom received its first update. The home’s energy efficiency and curb appeal were improved with new windows in 2017, along with a roof replacement and the addition of gutters. The bathroom was further updated in 2018. In 2025, the home's interior and the garage's exterior were freshly painted, the water heater was replaced, and the basement was professionally remediated. Additional upgrades completed in 2025 include new exterior and interior lighting, a stained back deck, a new side doorstep, five replaced egress window covers, and power-washing of the home, driveway, and deck. This well-maintained home blends vintage charm with modern updates, offering comfort and convenience in a desirable location.
