A full bath, a main-level primary bedroom, and a big, convenient laundry/drop zone make everyday living easy and functional. Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms with beautiful original hardwood floors and great closet space. The clean, dry stone basement is immaculate—ideal for storage, hobbies, or a future finish.
