To the right, a formal living room showcases a decorative fireplace and stained-glass French doors that unfold into a sunrooman ideal spot for morning coffee, plant babies, or a cozy reading nook. The formal dining room is bathed in natural light, with oversized windows that look out onto the peaceful backyard. Beyond that, the layout transitions into a kitchen ready for your personal updates and then into a spacious family room, where built-in bookshelves line every wallperfect for displaying collections or creating a cozy library feel. Two deep storage closets provide added functionality. A flexible first-floor room offers potential as a fourth bedroom, home office, or guest space, depending on your needs. A charming half bath with original tile rounds out the main floor. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a full hallway bath with vintage tilework and mid-century charm. The primary suite is bright and inviting, offering a large walk-in closet, an en suite bath, and windows that frame serene treetop views.
