Across the street from Wallace Park's 13 acres of green space, playgrounds, and walking trails, you'll enjoy scenic views and an active outdoor lifestyle right outside your door.
Inside, the light-filled open floorplan creates easy everyday living and effortless entertaining. The updated kitchen is a standout feature with granite countertops highlighted by striking garnet inclusions, classic subway tile backsplash, and timeless wood cabinets that perfectly blend historic charm with modern updates.
