Nestled in the heart of the desirable Elm Heights neighborhood, this classic Tudor-style home offers timeless charm and abundant character. Boasting over 3,300 finished square feet on the main and second levels, the residence provides spacious, warm living areas perfect for both everyday comfort and gracious entertaining. The highlight is the beautifully updated kitchen, featuring rich cherry-finished cabinets with soft-close hardware, solid surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, and thoughtful built-in organization. It seamlessly blends modern functionality with classic appeal. On the main level, you'll find a formal living room, formal dining room, breakfast room, and a cozy family room. The family and breakfast areas open directly to a fantastic outdoor living space through large sliding glass doors.

A convenient half bath serves the main level, while the finished basement adds even more versatility with a full bathroom, flexible living space ideal for a home office, recreation room, or media area, plus built-in bookshelves and a wet bar. Parking is effortless with an oversized attached two-car garage, a wide driveway, and additional paver parking along the street—plenty of room for guests and multiple vehicles.
