The thoughtful flow from the kitchen to the oversized living room and out to the back deck makes entertaining effortless.

The charming front porch overlooks lush gardens bursting with banana trees (yes, actual banana trees!), hibiscus, double-blooming lilies, fragrant gardenias, hydrangeas, and jasmine. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee, greeting neighbors, or enjoying the neighborhood's legendary Halloween trick-or-treating tradition. When you're ready for privacy, retreat to the back deck, where abundant wildlife and magnificent mature trees create a peaceful escape. Set on approximately 0.44 acres, the property offers a remarkable sense of space for a home so close to downtown. Significant investment has made in the tree maintenance and the removal of hazardous trees, helping preserve the beauty of the mature landscape. And then there's the neighborhood - perhaps the greatest luxury of all. Morning walks along the charming historic streets are an experience in themselves. In spring, the fragrance of jasmine and wisteria fills the air as you stroll past beautiful historic homes, established gardens, and towering trees. It's the kind of neighborhood that makes you want to slow down and take the long way home.
