Experience the timeless elegance of this beautifully renovated American Foursquare home ideally located just a short distance from Buttonwood Park. This residence artfully combines its original charm with modern conveniences. The grand entrance hall leads to a spacious living room with a fireplace on one side, and an elegant dining room with built-ins and wainscoting on the other. The first floor is completed by a renovated kitchen, butler's pantry, half-bath/laundry, and a mudroom. The second floor houses four bedrooms including the primary bedroom with a private Juliet balcony, a full bathroom, and offers access to a walk-up attic, perfect for future expansion. The perfectly-sized yard is newly landscaped, fenced in, and features a spacious deck off of the kitchen. A covered front porch, classic architectural details, and a bright, calm aesthetic, make this magnificent home a definite consideration.
