13496 Backus ST

Framed by a covered front porch, this updated Southgate bungalow brings together bright interiors, three levels of living space and a fenced backyard designed for time outdoors. A generous picture window anchors the living room, while an arched opening leads to a kitchen finished with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a distinctive blue backsplash. The adjoining dining area opens directly onto the rear deck, creating a natural connection between the home and garden. Two main-floor bedrooms are complemented by an expansive upper-level third bedroom that can also serve as a loft or flex room. The finished lower level offers additional room to entertain or unwind, with laundry and storage tucked separately away. Furnace, central air, water heater and kitchen appliances were replaced in 2024, balancing the home’s original character with substantial recent improvements.
