About this home

First time on the market in decades! This cherished 4-bed/1-bath home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for generations and is ready for its next chapter. Ideally located directly across from Dacca Park and Fife High School, the home is filled with timeless character, including hardwood floors preserved beneath the carpet. A double-wide, double-deep driveway, framed by beautiful rose bushes and manicured landscaping, welcomes you home. The oversized garage is a rare find. While it appears to be a two-car garage from the front, it extends three cars deep on each side, offering space for up to six vehicles. Complete with a wood stove and its own commode, it's an ideal setup for mechanics, hobbyists, woodworkers, or anyone needing exceptional storage for vehicles, tools, or recreational toys. Inside, you'll find a spacious kitchen w/ a dining area that opens to an oversized living room featuring a freestanding gas stove. The main floor includes two bedrooms and a full bath, while two additional bedrooms are located upstairs. Situated on a level half-acre lot, the backyard offers multiple outbuildings, a greenhouse, and plenty of room to garden, play, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Enjoy the best of small-town living with convenient access to I-5, schools, parks, dining, and everyday amenities. Located in the highly desirable Fife/Milton/Edgewood area and served by award-winning Fife schools, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special property.
