Set on a small but tidy parcel with picket fence, off-street parking, plus a fun back lawn and patio area perfect for kids and grownups alike. The floor plan features two bedrooms, separate living/dining rooms, and a spacious loft/bonus area not included in the square footage. Enjoy contemporary bath&kitchen designs juxtaposing a classic clawfoot tub in the bath with quartz counters in the kitchen, to a backdrop of fresh paint tones, newly-refinished wood floors and high ceilings with lots of light.
