About this home

Welcome home to 838 Clear Ave - a charming bungalow with standout curb appeal and a perfect blend of classic character and thoughtful updates. Walking up, you will immediately notice the flowers that line the home and the porch that has new decking and detailed wood paneling on ceiling. Step inside and you’re greeted by beautiful hardwood floors and a timeless built-in that anchors the living space. The main level features two well sized bedrooms, each offering great closet space, natural light, and ceiling fans to keep the air moving. The main bathroom was updated in 2020 and showcases wonderful character with exposed brick and a classic claw foot tub. The spacious kitchen is a true highlight, offering stainless steel appliances and a warm, inviting tile backsplash that ties the space together. The lower level provides a large living area with brand new carpet, a third bedroom, and a laundry room that also houses the utilities - including the furnace and water heater, both replaced in 2021. Out back you will discover a fantastic deck with durable composite decking and lush plantings that create a peaceful outdoor retreat. There is also a new retaining wall and fencing that enhances the overall landscape design. Thanks to all the completed improvements and ongoing maintenance, this home is ready for its next owner!

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
