Built in 1922 and meticulously maintained, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom residence offers 3,286 square feet of living space across four levels, situated on a 6,940-square-foot lot.

A complete French drain system encircles the foundation, providing peace of mind through excellent water management. A detached one-car garage completes the picture, offering additional storage or workspace options.
