Welcome home to this Proctor-area mid-century gem, where single-level living, original character and thoughtful updates all come together. This home has personality you notice the moment you walk in. In the main living space, you’ll find a vaulted ceiling overhead, charming built-in's, generous windows pulling in the light, original hardwoods underfoot and a gas fireplace bringing warmth to it all. The home offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with a detached bonus space out back, perfect as an office, gym or whatever you can imagine. The private, fully fenced back yard features a patio, pergola and mature landscaping, making it perfect for entertaining. A single car garage off the alley provides ample storage or potential to convert to an ADU (buyer to verify). The character remains, while the updates have kept pace: interior and exterior paint (2025–2026), updated electrical system (2025), new house roof (2023), mini-split heat pump (2023), and updated plumbing (2018 & pre-2017). For more peace of mind, a seller procured pre-inspection is available upon request. All of this is located on a quiet street with ample parking and close proximity to restaurants and shopping in Proctor and 6th Avenue. Take a stroll on the Mason Trail, head to Jefferson park for some green space or spend Saturday morning at the Proctor Farmers Market. Or skip going anywhere at all, light a fire and settle in. Turns out, you really can have character, updates and location all in one.
