With timeless curb appeal and a thoughtful addition that adds space without losing charm, this home is a beautiful blend of character and modern updates inside and out. Step into a bright and functional layout featuring updated electrical (including a new panel), modern plumbing, HVAC upgrades, solid 3/4 inch white ash hardwood flooring, and curated finishes throughout. The main floor offers an open and inviting flow with multiple spaces to gather or unwind, including a cozy sunroom, plus a dedicated wired home office for those working from home.
