Timeless details like original hardwood floors, handcrafted wood trim, and a built-in hutch in the dining room add warmth and character throughout. Step outside to enjoy the private patio-great for summer barbecues-and a large side yard ready for your garden dreams or recreation space. Located just a 5-minute stroll to the Blue Line, this well-maintained home offers flexibility, space, and an unbeatable location at an excellent value.
