This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home sits on an expansive lot with lots of room for a pool and a tropical garden but you need to see the inside to appreciate this beautiful updated home.

The garage was converted into a laundry room and a private gym. Beautifully remodeled, this solid-built home with its timeless character is also a great home for an investment and comes with potential rental income.
