    Full of character and ready to welcome its next owner, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath Victorian offers a wonderful mix of classic style, comfortable living, and thoughtful updates. Inside, you'll find inviting living spaces plus a versatile lower-level flex space, perfect for a rec room, home office, guest space, or potential fourth bedroom. The main level is filled with the character and charm that make this home so special, featuring beautiful original woodwork, pocket doors, and timeless details throughout. A convenient main level owner's suite with a private ¾ bath. The formal dining room provides the perfect spot for gathering.

The large fenced backyard offers plenty of room to relax, play, garden, or entertain. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, gather around the fire ring on cool evenings, or pick cherries from your very own tart cherry tree. Need extra storage or workspace? The spacious utility and wood shed features built-in workbenches with plenty of room for tools, hobbies, and projects. Also large enough to house a small car if you desire.
