Charming, warm, and inviting in a terrific location just a short walk to the riverfront...this home stops you in your tracks from the moment you pull up. The freshly painted exterior, classic millwork, and welcoming front porch complete with a tongue-and-groove ceiling and porch swing set the tone for everything inside! Step through the door and the charm is everywhere: original hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, built-ins, beautiful moldings, and those little architectural details that give a home its personality. What makes this home truly special is the rare balance it strikes - all the character and soul of an original, paired seamlessly with every modern comfort. The heart of the home is a large, open kitchen with a vaulted ceiling that creates an airy, light-filled space perfect for everyday living and effortless entertaining. It flows naturally into the four-season porch...the kind of room you won't want to leave, and into the dining area and living room, making the entire main level feel connected and easy. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms and a fully renovated primary en suite that earns its retreat status - clawfoot tub, tiled shower, and finishes that feel fresh and considered. The big-ticket updates are already done: new roof (2025), new hot water heater (2025), and a new water softener (2025) Out back, a private deck, expansive landscaped yard, detached garage, and a generous shed give you space for projects, hobbies, or just room to breathe. Walk to the riverfront, the shops, dining and everything this incredible location has to offer. Homes with this much character, this much heart, and this many updates don't come along often.
