Located on a peaceful street just within blocks of Franklin Elementary, Franklin Park, and Morton Station shops. The front home features 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, blending vintage charm with modern upgrades including a new electrical subpanel. A bright layout offers a formal dining room, updated kitchen with quartz counters and new stainless appliances, 2 new baths, refinished hardwood floors, new flooring in the kitchen, laundry, and rear bedroom, fresh interior and exterior paint, and refreshed landscaping. The redesigned fireplace, flex space for casual dining or game night, and built-in window seating enhance the extra spacious living room.

A 2-car garage sits at the end of a long driveway. Two homes, one lot, endless opportunity. Live in one, rent the other, or enjoy both. Properties like this rarely come on the market.
