About 1231 39th St

How is this home still on the market, you ask? Great question, it is as adorable in person as it looks. Someone is going to get a great home. The curb appeal of this home does not disappoint. Storybook story and a half bungalow in an idyllic neighborhood. Enjoy endless hours on the sprawling front porch. The house is filled with natural light and loads character. Corner fireplace is a beautiful accent to large living room. Owners used the first-floor bedroom as additional sitting room which sits adjacent to a small office/sunroom or walk in closet. First floor also has a mudroom/pantry and ¾ bath and large kitchen. Second floor is a perfect retreat. One of the two bedrooms has an additional room which could be a walk-in closet, nursery, sitting room or office. The backyard is wooded and private. Location can't be beat. The neighborhood is walking distance to Campbells grocery store, shopping, restaurants, easy access to the interstate and a short walk to Snookies. Another bonus, it is located in NFC neighborhood. Seller is motivated, make an offer today before you miss out on a great opportunity!
