Nestled on one of the Hill’s most beloved blocks,this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends historic charm with thoughtful updates. Enter through the inviting front porch and into a bright kitchen with granite countertops and sunny window. Continue into the open living and dining area, where original wood floors, high ceilings, built-in shelving and a recently serviced wood-burning fireplace create an airy and cozy retreat.
