Situated on a level lot, the property features a two-car detached garage and ample off-street parking for tenants or guests. The home includes a total of 15 rooms and 3 full baths, with each unit showcasing updates and unique character throughout. Upon entering the common main foyer, you're greeted by a charming mosaic tile entry and an expansive hallway that sets the tone for the home's warmth and space.
