The inviting living room features an original stained glass window and pocket doors, while the formal dining room flows seamlessly into the updated kitchen complete with included appliances, maple cabinetry with leaded glass accents, granite countertops, and a beautiful tin ceiling. Just off the dining room, a cozy family room or den with a wood-burning fireplace offers flexible living space and could also serve as a potential main-floor bedroom. The main level also includes a full bathroom with tub/shower combo, a spacious walk-in pantry, and access to a private balcony area. Upstairs, you'll find five generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully appointed full bathroom featuring a separate shower, jetted tub, double vanity, and stunning windows that fill the space with natural light. Outside, the paver patio and fully fenced backyard create the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, kids, or pets. A detached 2-car garage with a floored loft provides excellent additional storage, along with an attached shed for even more functionality. This remarkable home offers the perfect blend of historic charm, spacious living, and thoughtful updates-all in a beautiful setting ready for its next chapter.
