Welcome to this in-city 2 plus bedroom, 2 bath 1908 farmhouse lovingly updated with a European aesthetic: open floorplan, soaring ceilings, and clean lines. Upon entering the living room basks in natural light, with a built-in daybed and sweet tile fireplace. The kitchen was opened to create a great room for both dining and lounging. The bedroom on this level was reconfigured as a library/office with attached full bath. Upstairs you will find a gracious landing which extends to two bedrooms, large walk-in closet and 3/4 bath awash in marble and glass. The basement level offers lots of storage and laundry room. Right around the corner you will find an established neighborhood pea-patch, Miller playfield and destination restaurants and shops!
