The primary bedroom is a bright sanctuary, bathed in natural light from its three large windows. The fourth bedroom offers a unique feature: walk-up access to the attic. This vast attic space, with its unfinished wood flooring and charming eyelash windows, presents a ton of potential - imagine a future studio, office, or bonus room! Function and Flair - The unfinished basement offers great practical space with its painted concrete floors, divided into several rooms for storage or a workshop, and even features a dry bar for casual gatherings. Outside, the two-car detached garage is a canvas of charm, featuring a beautiful floral mural on the yard-facing side. This is more than just a home; it's a piece of history perfectly positioned for a vibrant urban lifestyle.
