Celebrating its 100th birthday, this thoughtful and darling home blends playful design with timeless charm, incorporating bold primary colors and linear patterns to create a lively and inviting atmosphere. Fresh exterior and interior paint, refinished hardwood floors, and refreshed lighting breathe new life into every space. The inviting living room features classic crown molding, a wood-burning fireplace, and built-in shelving that adds both character and functionality. A cased opening leads to the adjacent formal dining room, creating a seamless flow for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen shines with new stainless steel appliances, soapstone-look quartz countertops, a colorful tile backsplash, and a cutesy eating nook. The upper level features a primary bedroom with an adjacent bathroom, complete with a tiled walk-in shower and terrazzo-style quartz counter. A second versatile upper-level bedroom offers flexibility for a bedroom, office, creative space, or generous walk-in closet. On the main level, two additional bedrooms share a hallway bath featuring stylish tile, a quartz countertop, and a hidden laundry chute. The lower level offers laundry and ample space and is ready for your personal touch - whether you envision a home gym, workshop, or additional living area. The space offers decently high ceilings and its own exterior entry! The 0.40-acre lot is a dream, with fresh landscaping, a new picket fence, and an eco-friendly, low-maintenance fern-filled front yard. Outdoors, you'll find a cozy firepit area, a compact gravel patio perfect for dining al fresco, and two inviting porches. This home strikes the perfect balance of character, comfort, and modern updates - making it a true standout! [Home Energy Score = 2.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
