Looking for charm with potential for more?? This is it. Lots of character in this west end brick bungalow! SCREENED PORCH, kitchen with eating booth, a built-in china cabinet and a cozy office nook are just a few of the positives of this home. FENCED YARD, full unfinished basement and an ATTACHED ONE CAR GARAGE! Needs a little paint and I'd remove the carpet to expose the HARDWOOD FLOORS! Looking for that buyer that want's to expose and realize more from just a little.
