A gracious front porch sets the tone before you enter into a bright, open living and dining space featuring beautiful original wood floors, tall ceilings, substantial baseboards, and abundant windows that fill the home with natural light. The updated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. Just beyond the kitchen, youll find a convenient laundry room and first-floor powder room. Upstairs, the second floor features two well-appointed bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a hall closet.
