The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area features gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an original built-in hutch that adds vintage appeal. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, complemented by hardwood floors, crown molding, and updated windows throughout. An enclosed front porch provides a welcoming entry and adds bonus living space.
