Large living room with crown molding, original built-ins, and a cozy brick fireplace with tiled hearth. Main-floor bedroom, butler's pantry, and bright 4-season room. Upstairs offers three bedrooms and a half bath. Updated electrical, central air, and a basement with high ceilings and workshop potential. Tree-lined corner lot with a detached two-car garage.
