Streetside, you’ll be immediately greeted by a balcony that beckons one to pull up a chair and sip your morning coffee while listening to the neighborhood birdsong. Once inside this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, you’ll discover arches, built-in’s, an original fireplace and more- all the charm you’d expect. An added bonus is the long driveway leading to a garage, storage shed, and sunny backyard.
