Do you love the character of a historic home without the pains of “old house” issues? This 1925 beauty underwent a complete renovation in 2021 and is ready for you! The front garden is planted with perennial natives and the wraparound porch invites you to stay a while. As you walk through the front door, 12’ ceilings and open layout bring the wow factor and the wall of built-in bookshelves beckons bibliophiles and design minds alike. A thoroughly modern kitchen with huge honed granite island, gas stove, and pantry showcases style and functionality for cozy meals or hosting a crowd. The spacious primary includes separate vanities and a walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms & full baths and the laundry/mud room round out a thoughtful floorplan. In the fenced backyard the stage is set for relaxing fires on the patio. This home is the best of both worlds– comfortably modern and traditionally appealing, within an easy distance of fantastic dining and entertainment. Your lifestyle is calling!
