Original 1926 windows preserve the home`s authentic character while adding warmth and timeless appeal. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with granite countertops, a beautiful natural stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and elegant gold hardware and faucet that give the space a fresh designer feel. The remodeled bathroom continues the home`s blend of classic style and modern convenience. Ceramic tile flooring flows throughout the home, and an interior laundry area adds everyday functionality.

Out back, you`ll find a spacious yard featuring a storage shed with electricity and an existing concrete patio that`s ready to become the perfect outdoor entertaining space, fire pit area, or cozy backyard retreat.
