Welcome to this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath home, perfectly blending classic craftsmanship with modern conveniences. Nestled back from the road, this cottage-style gem greets you with a massive front porch — the ideal spot for a porch swing, morning coffee, gorgeous sunsets, and a beautiful view overlooking the city! Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed first floor featuring a primary bedroom, full bath, large mudroom, and laundry for ultimate ease of living. The kitchen is a true standout with granite countertops, and stunning handcrafted red oak cabinets, built from a tree sourced right from the property. Red oak trim flows throughout the main level, complementing the mahogany floors in the living room, where a gas fireplace, custom red oak mantel, and built-in cabinetry create a cozy, elegant space. The home offers ample storage with oversized closets and a large storage attic above the garage.
