3 Beds ⋅ 1.5 Baths

Pull up to 528 E 15th, and the flag out front is the last ordinary thing you'll see. Step inside, and this bungalow shows its hand fast: an enclosed porch with a stained-glass door insert, a brick chimney accent anchoring the living room, and a kitchen that skipped the usual gray-on-gray for periwinkle cabinets and butcher block counters. Three bedrooms, one and a half baths, and a partially finished basement that gives you real flex space -- office, playroom, workout room, take your pick. Then there's what's out back. Not just a garage, a 1-car detached garage plus a separate insulated workshop building with its own roll-up door, wired and ready to go. Car guy, hobbyist, small business, or just more storage than you knew what to do with -- this lot has room that most listings in town don't even pretend to offer. It's a house with a point of view, sitting on a lot with real utility behind it. Come see the kitchen first, then walk out back and see why this one's different.
