Property Description
This charming Craftsman-style bungalow is full of character and opportunity, making it an ideal choice for a first-time homeowner or a savvy addition to an investment portfolio. Blending traditional charm with tasteful updates, the home showcases beautiful natural wood accents, a spacious and inviting front porch, and a thoughtfully landscaped yard complete with walking paths, vibrant flowers, a peaceful back deck, and a stocked fishpond that adds a serene touch to the outdoor space. One of the standout features is the detached tandem garage, which has been transformed into a versatile artist's studio or workshop. With extra-tall ceilings, loft storage, enhanced electrical capacity for larger tools, and two separate rooms with ample natural light, this space is perfect for creative work, crafting, or even operating a small business from home. Inside, the kitchen has been updated with an industrial chef's sink, complete with a fitted cutting board, as well as a separate prep area that works beautifully as a coffee bar. The bathrooms have also been nicely updated, offering both style and comfort. A new furnace ensures efficiency and reliability, while the overall layout provides flexible living and workspace options to suit a variety of needs. Located in a convenient area near shopping, dining, and major commuter routes in Wichita, this unique and welcoming home offers not just a place to live, but room to grow and invest in your future.
