Some houses sit near the park. This one has a gate to it. This storybook Homewood bungalow has been cared for at a level you rarely see. The major updates are already done: a new roof, fresh paint inside and out, and a new water heater. The kitchen and baths have been updated to blend the home’s original charm with today’s finishes, so you get all the character without the project list. Hardwood floors run throughout, with tile in the kitchen and baths. The kitchen features stone countertops, updated cabinetry, and new faucets, and all appliances remain. Outside, the landscaping and grounds are immaculate, with fenced yard and workshop. The home overlooks Homewood Park, so you can walk right out your front door to community events, the recreation center, and the expansive community pool. You’re also minutes from SoHo and Downtown Homewood. Showings begin Thursday, November 5. The open house is Sunday, November 8, from 1 to 3 PM.
