Filled with natural light, the home seamlessly blends original character with tasteful modern finishes, creating warm and inviting spaces throughout. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the spacious main level offers multiple gathering areas, including a welcoming sitting room, a comfortable living room, and a large formal dining room. The beautifully updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and 42-inch cabinetry, providing both functionality and style. A convenient first-floor powder room also serves as the laundry room. Upstairs, the second floor features three generously sized bedrooms, each showcasing the home's original charm, along with a beautifully updated full bathroom complete with a double vanity and walk-in shower, creating a spa-like retreat. The finished third floor offers a versatile fourth bedroom that can also serve as a home office, recreation room, or flex space to fit your lifestyle. Updated mechanical systems throughout the home offer the peace of mind of modern ownership without compromising its historic appeal. Outside, enjoy a generously sized, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to relax or entertain. The property also includes a large two-car detached garage, two additional off-street parking spaces, and inviting front and rear outdoor living areas perfect for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply unwinding.
