Two main-floor bedrooms and a full bath provide flexibility for guests, work-from-home needs, or a growing family. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath - with separate soaking tub and shower - are complemented by flexible open space, private storage, and skylights that fill the second floor with natural light. This home blends timeless character with meaningful updates, including refinished hardwood floors throughout, an updated kitchen, renovated second-floor bath, custom built-in shelving, new kitchenette flooring, water heater replacement, and a Smartpak whole-home air conditioning system. Professionally designed by the homeowner, a landscape architect, the front and rear gardens offer a rare urban retreat with mature plantings, structured greenery, and inviting outdoor spaces for relaxing or entertaining.
