## Description

### Agent Description
Step onto the charm-filled corner lot where this character-rich two-story home immediately captures attention. From the moment you enter, you're welcomed by stunning woodwork and warm details that make this home truly unforgettable. The main level showcases beautiful hardwood floors, a bright living room, and a formal dining space highlighted by gorgeous original craftsmanship. A sunroom or private office offers the perfect retreat, complete with built-in desk and bookshelves-ideal for both productivity and relaxation. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with rich hickory cabinetry, stylish countertops, ceramic tile, and sleek black appliances, blending function with timeless appeal. Convenience meets comfort with two full bathrooms-one on each level. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms with freshly cleaned carpet, offering a fresh and inviting feel. Fresh interior paint throughout adds to the home's move-in-ready appeal. Newer HVAC systems. W/D are staying. Outside, the oversized 30 x 24 garage provides incredible space for vehicles, storage, or hobbies, and the corner lot adds both curb appeal and extra breathing room. This home is full of personality, warmth, and updates-ready to impress from the moment you arrive.
