The full-width front porch is perfect for morning coffee and watching the seasons change.Inside, original features - including wood floors and a classic claw-foot tub - speak to the home's heritage, while the current owners have introduced thoughtful updates that improve flow and functionality and add a modern, creative aesthetic that works beautifully with its original character. The kitchen has been fully refreshed with new cabinetry, appliances, plumbing, tiling, and a 6-foot slider opening to the garden. The main level includes a living room, a dining room, and a third bedroom that is currently set up as a second living area. A laundry room and a guest powder room complete the main level. The entire house has been freshly painted, and the electric service has been upgraded to 200 amps. Additional updates include a Nest thermostat system and a Navien on-demand hot water heater, for comfort and efficiency.
