Fabulous 4-square in sought after Midtown, perfectly blending historic charm with thoughtful updates. Refinished, gleaming hardwood floors run throughout, with high smooth ceilings and beautiful built-ins enhancing the inviting living spaces. The spacious formal dining room connects to a nostalgic butler’s pantry, leading into an updated kitchen featuring pretty countertops, double ovens, and a newly built pantry (with gas connection available). A quaint sunroom greets you, while abundant windows fill the home with natural light. Upstairs baths have been beautifully renovated. Bonus room would make a great walk in closet for the primary. Enjoy outdoor living with two newly built decks, a fenced backyard, detached carport ideal for entertaining, and a rebuilt greenhouse. Additional highlights include plantation shutters, ample storage, walk-up attic, basement, EV charger, fresh exterior paint, newer HVAC (2025), and a 3-year-old water heater. Well maintained on a charming street.
