The beautifully updated kitchen blends style and function, featuring granite countertops, an induction cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and both bar seating and a dedicated eat-in area. Sliding glass doors lead directly to the patio, backyard, and detached two-car garage—ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Additional amenities include two separate laundry areas, a finished game room, and tastefully renovated bathrooms. The primary suite offers a spa-like retreat complete with a spacious steam shower and rainfall showerhead. Comfort is ensured year-round with central heating and air conditioning, plus an added mini-split system.

With even more distinctive upgrades throughout—including a convenient third-floor kitchenette—this home offers a rare blend of character, modern convenience, and an unbeatable location.
