Discover this charming 3-story vintage gem, nestled just a block away from the serene lake and lush park. This idyllic home boasts proximity to commuter conveniences, shopping options, and the historic lakefront district. Recent upgrades make it even more appealing, including a sparkling new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a freshly renovated half bath, and a sunlit enclosed back porch. Step inside to a newly expanded floor plan that effortlessly connects the dining area and kitchen through a two-sided fireplace, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. On the second floor, a completely renovated full bathroom awaits, alongside a primary bedroom with an adjacent sitting room and three additional bedrooms. The third floor is a bright, skylit space that can serve as a bedroom, den, or office, limited only by your imagination. Outside, you'll find a 2-car garage, a welcoming front yard, and a private, enclosed backyard. Additional modern comforts include a new furnace and AC condenser and a newly finished basement with a laundry room. This property combines vintage charm with modern convenience, offering endless possibilities for comfortable living.
