About this home

Many pleasing amenities to appreciate in this Ruby Street gem. Neutral colors, character lending built-ins including bookshelves and an open corner closet, as well as unique light fixtures. The kitchen and dining room are open and bright; the entire first floor has a nice openness. The basement has easy access for lots of storage, as well as a place for wood working and hobbies, etc. The covered porch looks out at native plants and grasses as it welcomes friends and neighbors, but the backyard can be your private oasis. Raised garden beds, a small fire pit, and trellis to grow flowering vines all add to the serenity, including a second floor balcony to take it all in while sipping your morning coffee.
