HISTORIC CHARM + MODERN COMFORT! This beautifully updated 3BR, 1.1 bath riverbank Craftsman is practically perfect in every way: There is a sunny LR; chic open dining area, and an absolute showcase of a kitchen - complete w/little balcony overlooking the river. The MBR - currently used as a very cool office - is at the front of the house. [BONUS: walk-up attic; full unfinished basement w/newer half-bath.] The outdoor space is a real treat: There is a welcoming porch overlooking the stunning front garden, and the fenced backyard has a HUGE custom stone paver patio w/built-in firepit; a lovely yard w/plenty of room for fun & games, and a sidewalk w/steps to the River - ready to launch your canoes & kayaks! And what a great location - close to parks, shops, cultural attractions, and commuter access points. An AWESOMELY awesome place to call home - come and see!
