The master suite with vaulted ceilings, spa like bath and sitting/dressing room with laundry is the perfect retreat. Gleaming hardwoods plus the fresh neutral decor make this move in ready. Lower level with stacked stone walls and concrete flooring is plumbed and ready for finishing out for extra space or just great storage. From the white picket fence to the ample rose bushes, raised gardens and patios this is a peaceful house in and out. Within blocks of all the City offers you can walk to shops, restaurants, waterfront park, sailing and universities.
