Enter from the traditional full-length front porch into an open-plan living room and eat-in kitchen. The dining area is sunny, with sliders leading to a spacious deck, perfect for outdoor entertainment.

Upstairs in the main house, there's a primary bedroom with cathedral ceiling, skylight, and a large walk-in closet. The full bathroom is shared with the second bedroom on this floor. The basement holds a half-bath with laundry, abundant storage, and a stylish home office with sliding glass door. The fenced yard has a circular brick patio and a new storage shed. The property includes one off-street parking spot, deeded on the adjacent Orrin Street lot. Many boxes checked!
