Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, this three-bedroom, two-bath home blends timeless character with modern sophistication and includes an oversized one-car garage with dedicated work area, along with a private in-law suite. The main residence showcases a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry with elegant under-cabinet lighting, updated plumbing, and a suite of appliances-perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Rich original pristine hardwood floors, "never" sanded or refinished, add warmth and authenticity, complemented by laminate and tile in select areas.
