About 318 North Monroe Avenue

Straight out of a storybook and full of historic charm, this beautifully restored bungalow is the kind of home that makes you fall in love the moment you pull up! Situated on a charming corner lot, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom while preserving the character that makes it so special. Picture slow mornings sipping coffee on the updated wraparound front porch, afternoons curled up with a good book, and evenings entertaining friends and family in a home that feels just as inviting as it looks. Step inside to find an abundance of natural light pouring through the windows, a spacious living room that flows effortlessly into the dining area, and a private bonus room tucked behind beautiful barn doors that's perfect for a home office, reading nook, or quiet retreat. The completely remodeled kitchen is a showstopper, featuring granite countertops, gorgeous cabinetry, recessed lighting, and stainless steel appliances purchased in 2024. All three bedrooms offer generous space and plenty of natural light, and both bathrooms have been beautifully renovated! One of the bathrooms is a true standout, featuring the home's original clawfoot soaking tub brought back to life and paired with a stunning herringbone accent wall that perfectly blends historic character with modern design. You'll also appreciate the oversized dedicated laundry room that offers additional flexibility for storage or workspace. Outside, the charm continues with a fenced backyard, detached garage/storage building, and curb appeal that's hard to beat! And while this home may have historic roots, the important updates have already been taken care of, including a 2023 roof, new electrical panel with generator/RV hookup installed in 2024, and gutters installed around the entire home in 2025. The SimpliSafe security system equipment also conveys. And here's the cherry on top: THIS HOME IS BEING PARTIALLY FURNISHED! That's right, most of the furniture you see in the listing photos is included, making this an incredible opportunity for a move-in-ready home with personality! Centrally located less than ten minutes from downtown shopping, local cafés, bookstores, restaurants, schools, and everyday conveniences, you'll have the charm of a historic home without sacrificing accessibility. Beautifully restored, full of character, and ready for its next chapter. All that's missing is YOU!
