Some homes win you over with the layout. Others have the kind of classic architecture and original details that are getting harder and harder to find. This one has both—but what really makes it special is the neighborhood that comes with it. Take a look at the artwork throughout the home. It was created by neighbors who wanted to support the sellers as they prepared for their move. That probably tells you more about this community than any real estate description ever could. This is the kind of neighborhood where people know each other, look out for each other and genuinely care. And yes, the house itself delivers too. Great natural light pours through architecturally significant windows and doors, while an excellent layout creates separation and privacy where you want it. The kitchen has quartz counters and stainless steel appliances, the bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated, and the original front door is still here adding a little history and character. Out back, the finished detached garage complete with mini-split gives you even more usable space, whether that means a workshop, home office, gym or even a space for guests to use when visiting. It’s updated, move-in ready and full of character—but the best part is something the sellers can leave behind. It’s the community waiting outside the front door. ******OPEN SAT/SUN 2-4:30******
