Step inside this truly exceptional Beachwood home, where timeless character meets thoughtful updates and an unparalleled level of care. Meticulously maintained and exceptionally clean, this four-bedroom home showcases beautifully restored gumwood trim, stained and leaded glass, and solid wood pocket doors that preserve its original charm and craftsmanship.
The updated kitchen blends modern functionality with the character of the home, while both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated. Four spacious bedrooms offer flexibility, including one with its own private porch—a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day.
The care continues throughout the lower level, where the basement is remarkably clean, dry, and exceptionally well maintained. A huge walk-up attic provides an abundance of storage and exciting potential for future living space, hobbies, or a home office.
Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to relax, play, or entertain, plus a convenient storage shed. This is a rare opportunity to own a home where historic details have been lovingly preserved, modern updates have been thoughtfully completed, and every inch reflects pride of ownership.
