Located in the desirable University Heights neighborhood on a lovely tree-lined street, this beautifully renovated all-brick single-family home blends classic charm with modern convenience. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be captivated by the detailed wainscoting and old-world craftsmanship highlighting the home’s timeless character.

The elegant entry opens to a large living room with a stone fireplace—usable as wood-burning or gas—flanked by built-in bookcases with crystal-knobbed cabinets. Off the entry hall, the wainscoted formal dining room includes louvered folding doors, another bookcase, and access to a stone patio, perfect for entertaining. The brand-new kitchen is a showstopper, featuring quartz countertops, designer wood-mode cabinets, self-closing drawers, premium stainless-steel appliances, and modern lighting. Hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by updated fixtures, windows, outlets, and switches. A stylish new half bath completes the first floor.

The charming three-season room with new carpet and fan is perfect for morning coffee or quiet reading and can easily become a year-round space. The updated full bath offers comfort and style. The finished attic adds two more bedrooms—ideal for guests, an office, or extra living space. A full, dry basement with solid mechanics provides excellent storage and potential for expansion. Outside, includes a three-car garage that needs a little TLC but offers great potential for parking or workspace.
