Welcome to this newly renovated rowhome in the desirable Whitman neighborhood! Enter from the covered front porch into a bright and airy open-concept floor plan, where abundant natural light, freshly painted walls, and gleaming hardwood floors set a warm and welcoming tone.

A rear door off the kitchen leads to a private patio, ideal for summer BBQs or relaxing with a morning coffee. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms with new vinyl flooring, including a generously sized front primary, all sharing an updated full hall bath with a tiled tub/shower combo. The fully finished basement adds valuable bonus space that can serve as a family room, home office, gym, or guest area, complete with a convenient half bath.
