Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this turnkey residence seamlessly combines classic architectural details with modern comforts.

Inside, the home exudes warmth and character. Original Craftsman features such as detailed trim, baseboards, and door frames complement the abundance of natural light that pours into the sitting and dining areas through oversized windows. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is ideal for entertaining, showcasing white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open layout that connects seamlessly to the rest of the home.
