Nestled on an oversized flat lot along a quiet Arbor Heights street, this beautifully updated 1941 home blends vintage charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Custom built-ins, a designer kitchen with quartz countertops, and heated floors in both the kitchen and remodeled bathroom add comfort and style. A versatile bonus room in the basement is perfect for game days, movie nights, a home gym, or office space. Enjoy A/C and a spacious backyard with wooded privacy—perfect for the warmer months ahead. A one-car attached garage plus a four-car detached garage offers ample storage or workspace. Every detail has been lovingly maintained. Joanna Gaines would approve—honestly, she might try to move in!
