This beautifully maintained home seamlessly blends the timeless craftsmanship of its original design with the modern updates today’s buyers are looking for. A charming glass-enclosed front porch welcomes you inside, where beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and an open-concept layout create an inviting first impression. The spacious living and dining areas flow effortlessly together, making the home ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Just beyond the dining room, a large rear deck offers the perfect extension of your living space ideal for morning coffee, summer barbecues, or relaxing evenings with family and friends.
