The unfinished basement offers full ceiling height, plumbing for an additional bath, and easy finishing potential for extra living space. Outside, a maintenance-free deck overlooks the backyard, while the two-car detached garage plus two additional parking spaces ensures ample parking in the alley. With recent capital improvements including new windows and mini-splits with heat pumps, this home offers both character and modern efficiency.
