A recently updated two-bedroom in one of the city's best-connected pockets, where an easy commute meets a genuine neighborhood feel. Inside, an updated kitchen, refreshed flooring, and a renovated bathroom give the home a clean, move-in-ready feel, and a back deck extends the living space outdoors for morning coffee or evening downtime. The location is the standout.
