Enjoy three spacious bedrooms and two beautifully tiled bathrooms. Solid wood doors, custom Prairie Style windows, and a Ventilator heat recovery system enhance its charm. The extra-wide front porch and back deck are perfect for entertaining. Plus, a separate 550 sq. ft. multi-purpose studio offers endless possibilities—use it as an office, guest space, or creative studio. With ample parking and a circular driveway, this property combines style, sustainability, and versatility in a prime location.
