Property description
Step into a home where history meets heart. Built in 1920, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath gem is filled with warmth, character, and inviting spaces that make everyday living feel special. From the moment you enter the enclosed front porch-a perfect spot for morning coffee or finishing the day -you'll sense the charm that sets this home apart. Inside you'll find original details, such as original hardwood flooring and woodwork, blend beautifully with thoughtful updates. The separate dining room offers a dedicated space for holiday gatherings or weeknight dinners, while the cozy sunroom invites year-round relaxation with a book or glass of wine. Each level of the home offers generous storage options, making it easy to stay organized and clutter-free. Love to garden? You'll appreciate the backyard oasis with colorful blooms all season long and a gardening shed to store all your tools and treasures. Whether you're entertaining on the porch, hosting dinner parties, or simply enjoying the peace of your surroundings, this home offers the kind of character that never goes out of style. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of the past-beautifully preserved and ready for its next chapter.
