Original wood construction and Florida pine floors reflect the craftsmanship of the era, while central heating and air provide modern comfort. The home features an open-concept great room, ideal for both relaxed living and entertaining.Recent improvements include new landscaping in the front and side yards, a newly fenced backyard, and a newly constructed rear deck - the perfect place to enjoy the privacy of a remarkable backyard anchored by a magnificent banyan tree. A tandem driveway accommodates two vehicles, an uncommon convenience for homes in this historic district. Walkable, dog-friendly, and filled with charm, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a true slice of Thornton Park living.
