Step into timeless charm with this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath historic brick home, built in 1947 and packed with character. Spanning 1,530 square feet, this property includes a formal living room for special occasions, a dedicated dining area, and a cozy family room perfect for movie nights or catching up on your favorite book.
