Welcome home to a space that instantly stands out with its character, warmth, and beautiful original woodwork. Sunlight fills the rooms throughout the day, dancing across rich hardwood floors and detailed trim that give the home a timeless, welcoming feel. The main level offers a natural, easy flow between the living and dining spaces—perfect for cozy nights in or hosting with ease. The eat-in kitchen is bright and functional, with plenty of room to bring your own vision to life, while a convenient mudroom keeps everyday life organized. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms provide flexible space for sleeping, working, or relaxing. A walk-up attic with electricity adds exciting potential for future expansion, creative use, or storage. Outside, enjoy a manageable yard and off-street parking, all set in a convenient location close to shopping, dining, parks, and major routes.
