Welcome to 1216 Taft Avenue, a stunning home that has been beautifully transformed! Originally 486 square feet, this home has been expanded with two additions, one in 2011 and the other in 2020, and now offering 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and two stories of modern living space. Step inside to an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, perfect for entertaining. The first floor also features a versatile 4th bedroom or playroom, an office, a full bath, and a cozy tiled family room.
