Inside, the home has been thoughtfully transformed while preserving its 1940s charm. The bright, open floor plan features spacious living and dining areas that flow seamlessly into a stylish kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, a peninsula for seating, open shelving, and a large window overlooking the property. A convenient laundry area sits just off the kitchen and leads to a full bath.
