It sits on a generous lot on a quiet one-way street, just 6 minutes from downtown.

Step through the front door to discover striking high ceilings and original hardwood floors that have been professionally refinished throughout and sealed with an extra coat of high-durability Bona Traffic HD protective finish.

The kitchen is a true culinary haven, boasting quartz countertops, modern lighting, abundant cabinet space, and a newly installed reverse-osmosis drinking water system. Upstairs, the second floor boasts an incredible custom bathroom with double sinks, alongside two bright bedrooms and an expansive primary bedroom featuring a huge walk-in closet. Freshly painted and updated interior doors with new handles serve the bedrooms and primary closet. Ascend to the third floor, where a wide-open space awaits with endless possibilities for a fourth bedroom, game room, or private studio. Major structural peace of mind comes with a flat-roof section professionally redone in 2026 using a continuous roofing membrane backed by a transferable warranty.
