FEELING FOREST FRESH. Petite brick powerhouse really packs a punch. Resplendent w/ unexpected perks: marble c-tops in newly refreshed kitchen, clever built-ins in separate dining space, gas fireplace focal point, whole house fan + thoughtfully renovated bathrm. But not all the surprises are hidden inside. Ample detached garage, expansive back deck (partially covered) + fenced dog run. Close to everything that matters while tucked away on great little street. It won't take long for this one to grow on you.
