Original hardwood floors, built-in shelving, period lighting, and vintage architectural details preserve the home’s authentic charm. Updated plumbing and electrical, including an electrical panel replaced in the early 2000s, provide a starting point for your next chapter. The efficient floor plan lends itself to a thoughtful renovation that blends classic character with modern comfort.
