Welcome to this beautifully preserved Historic Brick Bungalow, where timeless character meets thoughtful updates. Step through the original front door with its charming mail slot into a welcoming vestibule that opens to a spacious living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, leaded glass windows, and original candelabra lighting. The home's character continues into the large formal dining room, highlighted by oak crown molding and gleaming hardwood floors that flow throughout the main level. The kitchen retains its vintage charm with built-in cabinets, the original ironing board, new flooring and even the historic milk delivery door.
