    CLASSIC BRICK BUNGALOW with so much to like! Original hardwood floors, wood beamed ceilings, pocket doors, leaded beveled glass windows and gorgeous built-ins are just the start to this move-in ready charmer! So many recent updates including a new kitchen with one-piece countertops, quartz sink, new cabinets & flooring, brand new stainless stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. The full bathroom has been updated with new tub/shower with Rain Fall shower head, new vanity/sink & lighted mirror with touch frame and new flooring. Major updates to the plumbing and electrical. The living room has been improved by a corner fireplace (electric) to go along with unmatched wood trim, ceiling & floors. The large, enclosed front porch provides the ideal spot for that morning cup of coffee or to relax on a quiet evening. Plenty of storage in the full basement and tons of potential in the full, walk-up attic. The home is attractively set on a tree line corner lot. The large lot provides a spacious side yard that is perfect for any of your outdoor activities. The lot is improved by a detached garage and a two tiered deck with natural gas access. NEW ROOF & GUTTERS on both the house and garage in 2023. Check out this One Of A Kind brick charmer and the cozy community of Benson and popular Roanoke Benson school district.
