## Description

### Agent Description
Some homes simply have a feeling the moment you walk through the door, and this College Hill bungalow is one of them. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for more than 40 years, this 1920 bungalow is situated on a spacious corner lot and filled with the character and craftsmanship that is often sought. From the beautiful woodwork and built-in cabinetry to the stunning brick fireplace that serves as a beautiful focal point of the living room, this is a home where memories have been made and cherished for decades. Large windows fill the home with natural light, creating warm and inviting spaces throughout. The updated kitchen offers abundant cabinet and counter space while maintaining the home's timeless appeal. The three bedrooms, spacious dining area, and the living space, provide room to gather, relax, and make yourself at home. The basement provides additional storage and flexible living space for hobbies, recreation, a home office, or workout area. Among the many standout features is the incredible covered front porch-an ideal spot for morning coffee, evening conversations, or relaxing and watching the world go by. The spacious back deck also lends itself for evening barbecues, or a spot to overlook the backyard. The corner lot provides extra yard space and added curb appeal, while the detached two-car garage offers much more than just parking. A garden shed provides additional storage. Thoughtful improvements include blown-in insulation, a replaced sewer line, and newer sidewalks. Utility costs average approximately $269 per month for gas and electric combined. Enjoy the convenience of living "close to everywhere" while being surrounded by charm, mature trees, and architectural character. From the welcoming front porch to the workshop-ready garage, this is a home where memories have been made and cherished for decades, that offers both character and practicality-a rare combination.
