Nestled in the heart of the beloved Bird Streets, this charming and beautifully maintained home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. A manicured lawn, welcoming front porch, and classic louvered shutters create instant curb appeal, while hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and neutral interiors make the home feel warm, bright, and inviting. The spacious living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace and flows effortlessly into the dining room, creating an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features marble countertops, updated stainless steel appliances (2024), and additional custom cabinetry for pantry and flexible storage added (2024). The generous primary suite offers two large closets and an updated ensuite bath with marble countertops and dual vanities. A spacious secondary bedroom and beautifully maintained second bath provide comfortable accommodations for guests or family. Beyond its charm, this home has benefited from extensive recent improvements, including replacement of the original cast-iron sewer line with new PVC plumbing (2024), a new HVAC system (2024), crawlspace improvements with a moisture barrier and ATMOX ventilation system (2024), grounded electrical outlets throughout (2024), updated kitchen appliances (2024), reverse osmosis water filtration (2024), a new garage door and opener (2025), and a monitored security system (2024). Outside, a large deck overlooks the private backyard, complete with an 8-foot privacy fence and plenty of room to relax, entertain, or play. Situated on an oversized 72’ x 113’ lot, the property also offers exceptional future potential for expansion or new construction. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated Bird Streets home with room to grow, expand, or simply enjoy exactly as it is.
