Set on a spacious lot with front, side, and back yards, the house is elevated from the street, offering privacy and a sense of retreat. Enter through a charming covered front porch and original double doors into a bright and airy interior with gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings, and wide hallways. The living room to the left features a large picture window overlooking the front porch and one of several original fireplaces with intricate tilework. A standout feature is the expansive eat-in kitchen with a granite island, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and oversized windows that flood the space with light, overlooking an antique brick patio. Beyond the kitchen, a mudroom with laundry, a powder room, and access to an outdoor patio and yard provide added convenience. Ascend the staircase to the second floor, where you'll find a spacious bedroom with a fireplace and a cedar closet.
