Coming Soon - showings begin September 10, 2026. Classic character meets an unexpected backyard retreat in this spacious brick home filled with warmth, natural light and details that give it a personality all its own. Inside, hardwood floors, generous room sizes and abundant windows create inviting spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Multiple gathering areas provide flexibility, while the kitchen offers plenty of workspace and storage. Throughout the home, architectural character and thoughtful improvements complement one another while preserving the distinctive feel of the property. And then there's the backyard! Venture through the screened porch with its vaulted wood ceiling, exposed beams, porch swing and decorative flooring, and the property opens into an outdoor oasis designed for more than just summer living. A heated in-ground pool and hot tub anchor an expansive patio surrounded by mature landscaping and privacy fencing. Nearby, a stone fire pit and built-in seating area beneath string lights create another inviting space to gather. The grounds continue with lawn and garden space, a storage shed with a covered potting area, and multiple places to relax, entertain or simply enjoy being outdoors. Swim on a warm afternoon, soak in the hot tub when the temperature drops, gather around the fire on a cool evening, or settle onto the screened porch and enjoy the view. From the welcoming front porch to the remarkable outdoor living spaces beyond the back door, this is a home with character, space and a backyard that truly changes how you can live at home.
