Step inside the inviting foyer, where a stately central staircase, elegant archways, wide trim, and rich wood floors set the tone. Sunlight pours in through charming grid-style windows, brightening every corner. The living room boasts a striking wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and fresh new carpet. A spacious formal dining room flows into a galley kitchen, complete with a window over the sink, an adorable breakfast nook, and all appliances included. A convenient half bath and coat closet complete the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom.
