GREAT BEGINNINGS. There's something easy to appreciate about this two-story home, starting with the original hardwood floors that run through much of the living space. The updated kitchen brings a little personality of its own with a combination of concrete and wood countertops, while the living and dining areas keep the main floor open and connected. Upstairs keeps the bedrooms and full bath together, and the unfinished basement adds useful storage below. Out back, the fully fenced yard offers room for pets, play, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors, with alley access to the detached one-stall garage. The wood deck is ready for some attention, so sellers are offering a $3,000 credit at closing toward deck repairs. Sometimes a great beginning starts with simply finding the right place to call home.
