Every space feels intentional, comfortable, and effortlessly livable.Imagine walk able mornings to the cafes and farmer’s market, strolls downtown for dinner & a movie, and easy 2-minute walks to the grocery store for full restocks or last minute items.The professionally landscaped backyard feels like a private retreat in the middle of the city, complete with stunning Japanese Maple trees, a new sprinkler system, raised garden beds, exposed aggregate patio, and a brand-new engineered wood deck - all designed for gathering and relaxing. The charming open-air front porch offers yet another place to unwind and enjoy the neighborhood atmosphere.Situated on a large 8,500 sq. ft. corner lot, the property also features a detached 2-car garage, a bonus second off-street driveway for additional parking, and an unbeatable walk able location near parks, tennis courts, the track, library, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment.Homes like this rarely come to market — where historic charm, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional downtown lifestyle come together seamlessly.
