Welcome to this beautifully restored turn-of-the-century home in the highly desirable Vernon Heights neighborhood. Filled with historic character and thoughtful updates, this 3-bedroom classic offers the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern convenience.
The home’s inviting full front porch sets a welcoming tone, leading you into a grand foyer with stunning original woodwork and hardwood floors. The spacious formal living and dining rooms feature timeless details that capture the elegance of a bygone era, while the updated kitchen pairs modern amenities with historic flair, including newer appliances that enhance everyday living.
Meticulously maintained with updates made over the past several years, this home includes a new roof, gutters, downspouts, HVAC system, and hot water heater, so you can move in with confidence knowing the major projects have been completed.
On the second level, you'll find three generous bedrooms, along with a charming 3-seasons room that makes a perfect office, sunroom, or cozy retreat. The expansive walk-up attic is a bright and versatile space that can easily serve as a 4th bedroom—with your finishing touches and addition of a window unit that heats and cools for comfortable year-round use.
The home also features a side entry located just a few steps from the garage, providing easy access for unloading groceries or coming and going with ease. The 1-car detached garage, built in 1994, offers additional storage space, alongside off-street parking and a quaint garden area.
