Description
Classic jumbo red brick bungalow offering 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a full second-story addition, pairing distinctive architectural character with generous space across three levels. Intricate ceiling trim gives the living and dining rooms a memorable focal point, while first-floor hardwood floors, freshly sanded and stained in light walnut, complement the home's classic appeal. The living and dining areas offer space for everyday gatherings and entertaining. In the kitchen, new stainless steel appliances include a French-door refrigerator. Updated bathrooms feature modern black fixtures. With five bedrooms, the home offers flexibility to arrange sleeping and work spaces to suit your needs. A full, partially finished basement extends the usable space, with two additional rooms for storage or potential office use. A new rear staircase serves both back doors. Set on a 35-foot-wide lot, the property includes a detached 2.5-car garage with a party door, plus a parking pad, providing three total parking spaces in the backyard. Across the street, 18.7-acre La Follette Park adds a wide range of recreation options close to home. Enjoy an indoor pool, fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, an artificial-turf athletic field for football or soccer, playgrounds, and a water play area. From its detailed ceilings and refinished floors to its expanded layout and convenient parking, this bungalow brings together character, practical updates, and room to make the space your own.
