Additionally, the updates feature a water heater, plumbing, light fixtures, accent walls, custom window treatments, and designer floor coverings for the original hardwood floors. There is Central air throughout the home. The entire interior of the home's first and second floors was painted in 2025. The 2025 walkthrough tour and photos do not show the installed and painted faux tin tiled bathroom ceiling, faux tin tiled foot guard of the spiral staircase, and faux tin tiled hall ceiling, which complement the existing vintage copper tile backsplashes in the kitchen. The four-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has great living and entertainment flow. The bedrooms include a spacious and versatile loft that can be used as a main bedroom, office, studio, exercise room, or even family room. The spacious area offers privacy and serenity with several secluded nooks for meditation, sleeping, dining, working, or studying! The largest bedroom on the main floor accommodates a queen bed, features original hardwood floors, and includes a light fixture with a reversible ceiling fan. It also benefits from abundant natural light through a large picture window with new custom window treatments, as well as another window with new custom window treatments. The other two bedrooms can also allow a queen bed, have hardwood floors, and several smaller windows with mini-blinds. They are divided by an original French door. One has a painted hardwood floor. These are often used as guest bedrooms and remote workspaces. The four bedrooms offer flexible usage, allowing tenants to adapt and grow throughout their tenancy. The living room accommodates sectionals, large sofas, chairs, and furniture, and features new custom window treatments, as does the adjoining dining room. Dinner can be whipped up in the adorable, efficient galley kitchen, which connects to the dining and living room spaces. Another entertainment convenience is the way the kitchen leads to either the large covered front porch, featuring a new outdoor dining table and chairs, or the concrete backyard patio, complete with a rod iron glass-topped table and chairs with a shade umbrella. The patio is private and spacious enough for a grill or smoker! Additional living space useful throughout the year is the dry, bright, and spacious basement, which features laundry facilities, ample storage, a built-in table and shelving, play and hobby areas, and a multitude of electric outlets. Plant lovers appreciate the beauty and functionality of the spiral staircase and pillar, along with the abundant natural light from the many windows, which brighten each room. A lovely, recently landscaped yard, a large covered front porch suitable for hanging and stand-alone plants, and a private backyard and patio offer plenty of outdoor activity and entertainment areas. There is a one-car garage and plenty of off-street parking on the long concrete driveway, with both a covered front porch to keep dry to enter the front door, a patio near the garage, and a back door that leads to the kitchen.
