A unique Craftsman-style bungalow full of original character on the quiet side of the street. Step in through the sunny glass-enclosed front porch, lined with classic multi-pane windows, and into a home where the craftsmanship of another era still shines. Dark-stained wood columns with Ionic capitals and paneled pedestals frame the opening between the living and dining rooms, with a glass French door, rich original trim, and warm hardwood floors throughout the main level. The living room's wall of windows fills the space with natural light. The kitchen offers plenty of oak cabinets, generous counter space, and a full pantry cabinet. A main-floor bedroom and a home office add flexibility, and the finished upper level offers carpeted rooms under the eaves with a sunny dormer, ideal for bedrooms, a studio, or guests. Plumbing rough-ins are already in place for a future second-floor half bath. The full basement adds a workshop and a framed spare room, both with hardwood floors, plus a laundry room. Out back is something truly special: a mature organic orchard and garden the owner has built with care over many years. Pick apples, pears, cherries, peaches, apricots, figs, persimmons, kiwi, hazelnuts, grapes, and a long list of berries, then tend the raised vegetable bed beside the Zoysia lawn and small pond. An orchard map is available. Out front, Japanese maples put on a show every fall. Parking is rare for the city, with a detached 1-car garage plus a long driveway for 5 off-street spaces in all. You're minutes from the Everett Turnpike, Route 101, I-293, and I-93. An excellent opportunity to step into homeownership or smart investment. Sold As-Is; personal property remaining at closing conveys with the property.
