Bathrooms feature classic touches like a clawfoot tub, wood paneling, and carved vanities that echo the past while serving today’s needs. Situated on a corner lot with alley access, mature trees, and room to entertain or garden, this home is walking distance to downtown shops, restaurants, and community events.
