Step into timeless elegance with this Dutch Colonial Revival 1924 single-family home, where classic character meets modern convenience.

This home features a spacious 384 square foot master suite that spans the entire second floor, offering a true retreat to unwind after a long day. With its own dedicated window AC unit, you can relax in comfort without disrupting the temperature of the main floor; a thoughtful touch for both family and pets.
Start your mornings in the sun-soaked reading nook just off the family room, or enjoy a cup of coffee from the cozy back porch. The kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, and the formal dining room, highlighted by original hardwood floors, is perfect for hosting dinner parties or family meals.
