This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home stands with a commanding street presence, featuring a classic front porch and elevated stone steps. Inside, a thoughtful renovation highlights high ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, and expansive open living spaces. The formal entry and sun-drenched living room create an inviting atmosphere, perfect for both intimate evenings and larger gatherings, all connected via an elegant stair hall with modern railings. The home's chef-inspired kitchen is a true showstopper, centered around an expansive island with quartz counters and sleek waterfall edging.
