    What's special

    Where historic charm meets Bay View's modern energy, this stunning Victorian makes a distinctive impression. Gorgeous hardwood floors and woodwork, graceful arched doorways and a natural fireplace create a warm, inviting backdrop. The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops and modern appliances, while the dining room is ready for dinner parties or intimate evenings. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue to 4 bedrooms, including a gracious primary, a bedroom with balcony access & flexible spaces for additional bedrooms, home office or creative studio. Outside, a privacy fence, expansive deck and 2.5-car garage add to the appeal. Set on a quiet street, you're steps from coffee shops, craft cocktail bars, parks and premier dining. Virtual staging.
