High above the street on a coveted double lot, this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath Craftsman offers a rare blend of timeless charm & thoughtful updates. A welcoming entry foyer with a gracefully curved staircase opens to a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a formal dining room accented by arched doorways. The sun-lit enclosed porch provides a perfect spot for cozy mornings, potted plants, and year-round enjoyment of the surrounding greenery. The bright, functional kitchen features butcher block counters, ample cabinetry, and a central island for prep or casual dining.
