A private breezeway provides easy street access for bikes or trash, directly from the kitchen. Upstairs, two bedrooms feature oak hardwood floors with inlay. The primary bedroom includes a brick fireplace, while the second offers a large built-in closet and access to a sun-soaked deck with east and southern exposure. A modernized full bathroom retains historic charm. The top floor hosts a versatile great room with pinewood floors, recessed lighting, and dormer windows showcasing views of the block's new architecture, perfect as a bedroom, hobby space, or retreat. The hardscaped back porch, framed by an ivy wall and 6-foot fence, creates a private oasis. Central AC and modern amenities ensure comfort while preserving historic allure. New roof in 2025!
