Welcome to 2 James Street, a charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch on a rare 0.59-acre multi-elevation lot with views of the Silvermine River. Step through the Dutch door into an open, sunlit living and dining room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, picture window, and two oversized skylights that flood the space with natural light. The sunny kitchen is the heart of the home, while the main bath offers a tub-shower combo and granite-topped vanity.
