Opportunities like this in Historic Wares Creek are becoming increasingly hard to find—especially at this price point. Nestled beneath majestic oak trees on a rare .22-acre lot with a beautiful side yard, this classic 1920s Craftsman bungalow offers the charm buyers dream about along with the versatility today’s market demands. The main residence features 2 bedrooms plus a possible 3rd bedroom/flex space and 2 baths, complete with original hardwood floors, Craftsman built-ins, vintage architectural details, and the warmth only a historic home can provide. But what truly sets this property apart is the detached two-car garage with workshop and full upstairs apartment—creating a rare opportunity for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, rental income, home office space, artist studio, or long-term investment potential.
