This adorable bungalow with 10 foot ceilings is like Mary Poppins' purse - every time you think you reach the end, it opens up anew. The main floor has hardwood floors, huge windows, and an open floor plan connecting the dining and the den, and opening up into a cute a sunroom/library in the very front of the house. The kitchen has new cabinets and countertops (2014). The rest of the house underwent a massive renovation in 2012/2013, restoring the foundation, replacing water heater and gutters, replacing the front deck and back entrance and doors, installing additional lighting in the den and dining areas, and finishing off the formerly unfinished attic and basement. In everything we prioritized natural sunlight and an open layout. The attic features four new skylights, plenty of storage space, new insulation, a window seat for reading and additional storage, and additional heating and cooling by way of a heat pump unit and baseboard heat. The basement has a separate entrance, sound channels in the ceiling for noise reduction, new windows and insulation, padded carpet, a brand new bathroom, an open laundry room with plenty of space for hanging clothes and a laundry chute from the floor above, and plenty of space for recreation. It also features a lit and finished storage area crawl-space. The spacious backyard is private in the summer with plenty of trees to make you forget you're in the city. There is a large raised-bed garden, a garden shed, a gutter off the garage for your rain barrel, and a chain from the large tree waiting for your lawn swing. There's also a very small pond that attracts local wildlife. Easy walk to both downtown (Bismarck High, library, and "Little Dan's" grocery store) and to Simle Middle School and Lion's Park.
