Welcome to 617 Armstrong Avenue – a charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom bungalow that seamlessly blends character, comfort, and potential. As you arrive, you'll be greeted by an extended driveway leading to a massive, detached garage – offering plenty of space for parking and storage. Step inside to discover a warm and inviting interior where HARDWOOD FLOORS grace most of the home, and original door hardware adds a touch of vintage charm. The living room invites you to cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace, perfect for relaxing evenings. Just off the main living area, the ENCLOSED PORCH with classic wood-paneled walls offers a nostalgic retreat. The kitchen flows conveniently into a mudroom, which provides access to the backyard. Outside, you'll find a sprawling 24x30 DETACHED GARAGE with elevated ceilings – ideal for installing a lift, making it a dream setup for car enthusiasts or those in need of extra storage. The garage features newer siding and all-new plywood, just three years old, and both the house and garage boast NEWER ROOFS – adding longevity and peace of mind. Back inside on the main level, you’ll find a dedicated dining room, a primary bedroom with a WALK-IN CLOSET and a half bath. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms with original hardwood floors share a full hall bathroom. The full BASEMENT offers ample storage and houses the laundry facilities. Recent upgrades include a BRAND-NEW HEATER AND ELECTRIC PANEL, providing modern efficiency and year-round comfort. While the home could benefit from a bit of TLC, it offers endless potential for personalization and improvement. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a renovator, or simply someone who appreciates classic charm, this property is a must-see. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity – schedule your tour today!
