Classic 1906 Edison home blending original character with major recent updates. Inside you'll find original hardwood floors, generous living space across 3-4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, and a main-floor bedroom and full bath for easy single-level living. A large enclosed front porch adds year-round flex space, and a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area.

City water and sewer, copper plumbing, and a 1-car garage round it out. Refrigerator, range, microwave, washer, and dryer included.
