1620 NE 12th Street

STEP THROUGH the front door & something grabs you immediately. Not silence; comfort. This home feels solid in a way you don’t see much. Exterior walls are cinder block filled with concrete, making the home quiet & well-insulated, reinforced to make the whole home a safe room. Light spills across tile floors that run from room to room. You pause, not realizing why, then notice details doing the quiet work: deep window sills & door pockets add a sense this home was built to serve those inside. Wide doorways guide you easily from space to space. No steps or tight turns. The open living area flows to the kitchen, where conversations carry easily. Wide countertops invite you to imagine cooking with friends or family as love & joy fill the air. Cabinets in the mud room have plenty of storage. Down the hall, the primary suite welcomes you into a well lit space. A large closet takes up almost an entire wall. You see a private bath with a tub made for unwinding, a touch of luxury in an economical home. The hall bath's walk-in shower is practical & accessible without sacrificing comfort. Nothing flashy, just smart. You open a closet door expecting a compact washer/dryer. Instead, you're met with stackable full-sized units. More luxury amidst economy. The 2nd bedroom is brightly painted & has big windows. A spacious closet keeps your room from being an obstacle course. You take a deep breath. The air is clean. The home feels safe. HVAC ducts were serviced this summer, good for the next 3 years. Smoke & CO detectors have fresh batteries. Outside, the attached carport keeps your car protected. Gutters have leaf guards in place. Much of what you see fits the space, & most of it stays: Refrigerator. Washer & dryer. Deep freezer. Security system. Weber charcoal grill. Whether this is your 1st home or where you stay through your golden years, the layout meets you where you are. You take one last look around. This isn’t a house trying to impress you. It’s a home inviting you to stay.
