Outside, a brick courtyard with a pergola leads to the two-car garage & fenced-in yard. This home combines charm & designs that have stood the test of time with thoughtful, modern updates. A true testament to quality & care -- they just don't make houses like this anymore. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
