Welcome home to this charming and well-maintained 2 bedroom, 1 bath home located in the heart of Oakland City! This property blends timeless character with numerous important updates throughout the years. From the moment you arrive, the welcoming front porch invites you to slow down and enjoy small-town living. Inside, the spacious living room features a gas backup wall unit along with beautiful original built-in bookcases and classic craftsman-style carpentry that creates a warm transition into the dining room. The dining area offers a wonderful bump-out window seat, perfect for additional seating or a cozy reading nook, along with added storage space. The home features two main-floor bedrooms connected by a shared Jack-and-Jill full bath with tub/shower combo.
