Welcome to this beautifully preserved Historic Brick Bungalow, where timeless character meets thoughtful updates. Step through the original front door with its charming mail slot into a welcoming vestibule that opens to a spacious living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, leaded glass windows, and original candelabra lighting. The home's character continues into the large formal dining room, highlighted by oak crown molding and gleaming hardwood floors that flow throughout the main level. The kitchen retains its vintage charm with built-in cabinets, the original ironing board, new flooring and even the historic milk delivery door. Just off the kitchen, a four-season porch with interchangeable windows and screens overlooks a serene backyard, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Two main-floor bedrooms each offer walk-in closets, while the upper level provides a private third bedroom and a spacious artist's loft. The light-filled basement offers over 500 square feet of finished space, complete with a built-in bar, a large laundry room, and a 150 sq ft workshop or storage area. Outdoors, enjoy evenings around the fire pit and convenient alley access to the brick and stucco garage. Recent updates include fresh paint and a newer roof. This lovingly maintained home blends historic charm with functional living-ready for its next chapter!
