With views of the parade grounds to the north and a sunlit, south-facing balcony at the back, this home offers both beauty and community connection.

The spacious living area features a gas log fireplace with an elegant marble surround, perfect for cozy evenings. A versatile loft space provides endless possibilities-a home office, guest area, or reading nook.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
