This charming 1929 farmhouse blends historic character with thoughtful updates. Featuring preserved oak hardwood floors and original white trim, the home exudes warmth from the moment you step inside. A welcoming foyer leads to a light-filled living room with a wood-burning brick fireplace. The spacious eat-in kitchen was beautifully renovated to highlight the original picture window overlooking the backyard. Enjoy the farmhouse sink, shaker-style cabinetry, and a discreetly paneled dishwasher. A butler's pantry with built-in fridge, enclosed storage, and coffee bar adds both function and style, perfect for hosting and entertaining! Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom boasts four large windows with serene treetop views, accompanied by two additional bedrooms, a full light-filled bath, and a linen closet. The full, clean, unfinished basement provides ample storage, a laundry area with a vintage sink, and a carpeted bonus space-perfect for a playroom, office, or art studio. Outside, the cedar privacy-fenced backyard features lush perennial gardens, a fire-pit patio and a gated section for a compost area, woodpile, or chicken coop. Enjoy your favorite beverage on the cedar front porch and the convenience of a 2.5-car garage. Nestled on a quiet, non-through street, the home is moments from campus bus lines, grocery stores, coffee shops, and parks. Recent updates include a new roof (2021), a renovated kitchen and half-bath, new plumbing, and built-in mudroom storage. Lovingly maintained for 16 years, this farmhouse is ready for its next owners to cherish. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind home!
