Overview

Description

Some houses just feel like a warm hug. 1950 Lafayette is exactly that--brimming with genuine natural light & stunning original hardwoods. The 9ft ceilings anchor a thoughtful flow: The living room leads to the dining room, opening to a gorgeous kitchen with butcher block countertops, open shelving, & timeless tile to the ceiling. Step through the slider to your newer deck & newer fully-fenced yard. Down the hall, 2 bedrooms share a bath meant for lingering, with an oversized tub, tiled sitting ledge, & ceiling-height tile. Below is a clean, full unfinished basement with tons of storage & an included washer & dryer. A 1-stall garage, newer roof, furnace (+ humidifier), & AC provide total peace of mind. Outside, walk 261 feet to Briggs Park's pool & waterslide, or stroll to Sparrows Coffee, Kingma's, Lucy's, & Frosty Boy. Effortless highway & downtown access.
