Spanning 1,530 square feet, this property includes a formal living room for special occasions, a dedicated dining area, and a cozy family room perfect for movie nights or catching up on your favorite book.

Whether you're hosting the holidays or just need room to breathe, the thoughtful layout and vintage character make this a truly comfortable place to call home.
