Located in the historic & vibrant Japantown, this early 1900s Neoclassical bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully preserved piece of the city's architectural legacy. The property blends classic craftsmanship w/meaningful updates, creating a space that honors its past while supporting modern use. The single-level residence features original soft pine hardwood floors, period wood doors w/brass hardware, formal living & spacious dining rooms that reflect the home's turn-of-the-century design. The updated kitchen includes refreshed cabinetry, Corian countertops, and plentiful storage, providing everyday functionality.

A large attic space, accessed by pull-down stairs, provides even more expansion or storage potential. A detached garage & outdoor access to the basement further enhance usability.
