Description

Some homes are built. This one was made to last. For nearly 60 years, one family has called this St. George's Park East corner-lot bungalow, home - and it shows in every detail no renovation crew ever touched. Ornamental cast cement columns frame the covered front porch, original plaster relief ceilings grace the interior, and solid oak cabinets characterize the kitchen. This isn't a flip. It's a legacy.The main bathroom has been thoughtfully renovated - a rare, welcome modern touch in a home that otherwise honours its 1955 roots. Solid hardwood runs throughout, and out back, a 50-year-old Concord grapevine - a living piece of this family's history you simply can't recreate.Downstairs, a cedar wet bar with a leather top anchors a rec room built for gathering - and with its own stair access, it's the kind of flexible lower-level space today's multigenerational families are actively searching for. You'll appreciate the rare direct access to garage and oversized cantina too. Full floor plans are included so you can picture exactly how this layout works for you. Covered front porch and open back decks invite you to sit exactly where this family sat for six decades. Homes like this don't get built anymore. They get inherited, cherished, and - once in a great while - offered to someone new.
