Features include a three-season porch/mudroom, a restored built-in with shaker cabinetry and open shelving and a deep, european driveway extending to the alley with space for future garage potential. Move-in ready, with an opportunity to personalize over time. Affordable price point offering strong value for owner-occupants or investors.
