Tucked into a friendly, walkable neighborhood near Alberta, Killingsworth, Dekum, and more, this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom home blends thoughtful updates with timeless charm. From the inviting cozy front porch—rebuilt in 2021 with new stairs, railings, and wrapped cedar decking—you’re welcomed into a space that feels both open and intimate. Inside, the main floor was completely renovated, featuring original hardwood floors, fresh paint in 2025, and an open layout that flows seamlessly between the sunny living room, dining area with a reclaimed barnwood beam ceiling and cedar accent wall, and the bright kitchen with floating shelves. The updated bathroom (2022) and remodeled mud/utility room (2023) add both comfort and convenience. The main-level bedroom offers easy access, while the converted attic serves as a peaceful, non-conforming second bedroom or bonus space, complete with a portable A/C unit and insulated, dry storage along both eaves—a true sanctuary tucked above it all. A mini-split installed in 2021 keeps the home comfortable year-round. Major system updates include a new roof with skylight (2022) and new sewer line (2022), offering peace of mind for years to come.Step outside to enjoy the fully fenced, private backyard—a rare retreat in the city with plenty of room to entertain or simply unwind.
