    Gorgeous custom renovation blends the timeless character of a classic 1920s home with exceptional modern craftsmanship. Situated on a desirable corner lot, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence welcomes you with a spacious front porch, mature trees, and outstanding curb appeal. Inside, you'll find refinished hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and thoughtfully updated fixtures throughout. The spacious living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a custom kitchen featuring quartz countertops, a porcelain sink, double ovens, abundant cabinetry, pantry storage, and a dedicated coffee bar area. A thoughtfully designed addition provides a mudroom, powder room, and heated floors for everyday comfort. Upstairs, the bright primary suite offers a private bath with a charming clawfoot tub, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Outdoor living includes a brick patio, fruit trees, and beautifully landscaped spaces perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Added value comes from the property's layout and lot configuration, which may offer the opportunity for a future garage with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), creating flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or potential rental income.
