This beautifully updated 3 bed, 2 bath home offers 1,447 square feet of character and comfort, plus a full unfinished basement and a detached garage/workshop. The kitchen and front porch were thoughtfully redesigned by Struct/Restruct in 2016, blending the charm of an older home with the functionality of modern living. Step into the stunning kitchen featuring custom pendant lights by Albo Glass, soft-close maple cabinets, marble countertops with a waterfall island wrapped in barnwood, and a spacious pantry tucked behind a salvaged original door turned pocket door. From the kitchen, walk out to a flagstone patio and enjoy a second outdoor sitting area — perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The fully fenced yard is a gardener’s dream, filled with a variety of flowering perennials. Inside, you’ll find wood floors throughout, with tile in the bathrooms. Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, and major systems including plumbing, electrical, and appliances have been updated. Original sash chain windows remain fully functional and are paired with storm windows for year-round comfort. Primary can be up in the spacious attic room with the attached bathroom or on the main level with access to the hall bath. The long driveway provides ample off-street parking, and the detached garage offers room for one car plus workshop space. Don’t miss the chance to own this unique blend of vintage charm and thoughtful updates — a true gem inside and out. Close to campus, shopping, and K-10. Make this house your home today!
