A real southside gem in the Delaware neighborhood is all spiffed up and ready for its new owner this spring! This vintage 1940's bungalow is as neat and tidy as they come and the central location just can't be beat. Close to Mercy Hospital, Delaware Elementary School and the Glenstone commerce corridor, there's a whole lot to appreciate about this charming house. Starting on the outside, you'll love the front porch entryway and the extra wide and long driveway that leads to the oversized 1 car garage that has it's own entry door. You'll note the curb appeal is enhanced by the beautiful landscaping and a roof that's only 5 years old. Venture out back to your true private oasis in the middle of the city with a lovely pergola perched upon a spacious block paver patio overlooking the privacy fenced backyard. Step inside to gleaming hardwood floors that were just refinished this month while abundant light pours in from the newer Pella windows throughout the home. There's a remodeled bathroom with a wall hanging vanity and tub/shower combo, a cozy kitchen with tile counters and glass door cabinets, and charm galore with crystal doorknobs and all the original woodwork. Plus, there's a walk up stairway to the well insulated attic for additional storage. The HVAC system is approximately 12 years old, the roof is less than 5 years old, a brand new sewer line from the house to the street was installed in 2022, the electrical panel and plumbing has been replaced in recent years, and the paint job inside is so new it's still drying! Seriously, this home has all the good bones plus all the right kind of updates and is as cute as button. Come take a look at it soon before the dogwood trees start blooming!
