Property Description
This beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends modern style with classic charm while offering exciting opportunities for future expansion.

The full, high-ceiling basement offers incredible potential-whether for additional bedrooms and baths, a spacious family room, or even exploring duplex conversion. Outside, the deep, landscaped rear yard with a patio provides privacy and flexibility, with room to create a lush garden retreat, outdoor entertaining space, or to add an ADU.
