Four bedrooms split between the 2nd and 3rd floors give you room to work with, including a front bedroom on the second floor that reads as two connected spaces, a layout that lends itself to a primary suite with an office, a sitting area, or a nursery beside the main room. A full bath serves the bedroom levels, and the unfinished basement holds the laundry with washer and dryer included. Outside, a covered front porch faces the street and a back patio offers private outdoor space, both already in good shape. The location is the part you cannot renovate.
