Timeless Character, Modern Comfort!
Discover the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience in this meticulously maintained home, where original woodwork, a classic built-in buffet, and craftsmanship you don’t find in newer builds create a warm, welcoming feel. Newly refinished hardwood floors (2022) add a fresh, polished look while keeping the home’s timeless character intact. Modern updates make everyday living easy, including a new furnace and central air with a smart thermostat (2022), plus a newer refrigerator (2022) and washer/dryer (2024). A main-floor bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or convenient one-level living, and the bright, open living spaces provide a comfortable flow for relaxing or entertaining. Set in a peaceful neighborhood with quick access to 35E, minutes from hospitals, dining, music, and sporting events—making this an ideal move-in-ready primary residence or a highly desirable rental opportunity. Assumable 3.5% FHA mortgage rate - approx $220,000 balance (restrictions may apply).
