An additional enclosed porch off one of the bedrooms offers versatile space with endless possibilities, whether used as a home office, reading nook, or sitting area. The updated full bathroom features a tub/shower combination, modern fixtures, tile flooring, and additional storage. Outside, the fenced-in brick patio provides a private setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A detached one-car garage is an added bonus for city living.
