A modernized full bathroom retains historic charm. The top floor hosts a versatile great room with pinewood floors, recessed lighting, and dormer windows showcasing views of the block's new architecture, perfect as a bedroom, hobby space, or retreat. The hardscaped back porch, framed by an ivy wall and 6-foot fence, creates a private oasis. Central AC and modern amenities ensure comfort while preserving historic allure. New roof in 2025!
