The kitchen has been refreshed with updated cabinetry, a new ceiling, and a new gas stove, while the front and rear stonework have also been restored. Many varieties of flowers bloom throughout the front, side, and rear gardens, including three magnificent magnolia trees.

The full unfinished basement, complete with Bilco doors for direct exterior access, is ideal for a workshop, storage, or future finishing. Out back, an easy-to-maintain yard is shaded by three gorgeous magnolia trees. The original three-car garage has been converted into a two-car garage with a large storage area, plus additional permeable paver parking behind—stormwater-friendly and a real asset in this part of the city.
