Overview

Description

NOSTALGIA MADE MODERN This is a traditional bungalow thoroughly updated for modern living. A cottage that looks/feels like it did when it was built in the 1950's (guessing date) with great wooden floors and wood trim everywhere. Original exterior wood siding is in great condition newly painted. The owners kept the original wooden windows. What you will not notice is that the owners took everything apart in the house so they could put the house back together with all NEW plumbing, NEW HVAC, NEW electric, NEW insulation, and storm windows to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They rebuilt the kitchen. Kept the original real wood cabinets but put in all new appliances. New kitchen floor. They updated the previously enclosed back porch for your den or TV room. BUT THE BEST THING is that you are only minutes from wonderful City BEACH where you have FREE PARKING. First class restaurants and stores all in walking distance. FURNITURE AI
