The spacious living room features a charming window seat overlooking the picturesque Dogwood-lined street, where architecturally distinctive homes create a setting that truly feels like stepping back in time. Additional features include a side-entry basement garage with unfinished space ideal for storage or a workshop, as well as a large walk-up attic that is completely floored, offering abundant storage or potential for additional finished space.
