Home to one family, this can now be your chance to begin your dream of home ownership. This solid brick bungalow with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and the addition of a 27'x13' family room goes beyond being a starter home. This home is 400-500 sq ft larger than most of the bungalows in the neighborhood. 2 bathrooms include a 3/4 bath in the primary bedroom. The 1car garage has direct access to the interior. The overhead garage door has been sealed for years but could be returned to use for vehicle access. The roof is less than 4yrs old. Newer appliances include a washer and dryer. The backyard workshop is approximately 400 sq ft. The space could accommodate a multitude of uses while the manually operated garage door opens to the backyard. A pulldown staircase leads to a huge attic space above the garage. The backyard is a manageable size and the garden areas get great exposure. The location makes it easy to commute north, south, east and west with main arteries close by. Settle into the neighborhood and enjoy using the close by community features such as the Thornton City Pool and Water Park, Ball Fields and The Thornton Community Center, Thomas Slocum Memorial Skatepark, Thornton Cultural Center. Plus, there are many other recreational facilities throughout Thornton. This home worked for a family that made it theirs since the 1950's. You can do the same and create a home that will be enjoyed by you for years to come.
