Set on a deep lot with a detached garage and an expansive backyard, the property offers both immediate comfort and long-term flexibility.

Inside, the main level features a spacious living room with hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace, a charming pine-paneled sunroom with exposed brick, and a sunlit dining room.
