The primary suite is thoughtfully set apart, offering a tranquil escape with ideal privacy. Two of the bedrooms share a hall bathroom and the third has its own ensuite - it was the original primary bedroom when the house was built. Recent upgrades: new kitchen 5 yrs, Pella accordion door, Hunter Douglas motorized shades, 1st floor Pella windows, 4 yr old architectural shingle roof, new concrete driveway. This is truly a lifestyle property located in one of the most iconic neighborhoods of the Central Corridor - an enclave in the heart of it all!
