Step into timeless elegance with this gorgeous 5-bedroom Queen Anne Victorian, beautifully blending historic charm with modern convenience.

A large basement offers even more usable space. Outside, the paver brick driveway, privacy fence, lush landscaping, and pergola create a private, picture-perfect yard ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
