The backyard here does not feel like a city lot. It runs back deep enough for a grape arbor with vines thick enough to prove real age, a fenced vegetable garden with raised beds already producing inside deer netting, and a run of mature pines and spruce along the back line that blocks the neighbors out entirely, the kind of screen that takes a decade to grow and cannot be bought at a garden center. A stone-edged path connects it all, and a picnic table sits at the far edge of open lawn that is still wide open for whatever comes next: a chicken coop, permitted under the city's ordinance, more raised beds, or nothing at all. Slab construction means none of it comes with basement or foundation worry.Inside, the living and dining space opens straight into the great room with a single step down, no hallway, no separation, just one open run of space built around a brick fireplace with a beamed ceiling overhead, where the wood and the brick carry the character rather than paint or trim.The kitchen keeps its oak cabinetry, tiled backsplash, and a peninsula with counter seating, arranged so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation happening in the next room.A three-season porch off the kitchen, painted a deep blue, catches the morning sun and looks out toward the garage. Beside it, a completely separate office keeps its own door and its own daylight, borrowed through a window to the porch next door, with built-in shelving by the entry. A real office rather than a converted bedroom is the difference between finding room to work and losing a bedroom to make it happen.Out front, the covered porch is trimmed in iron scrollwork, echoed on the breezeway connecting the detached garage to a second outbuilding, ready for a workshop or storage. A basketball hoop already stands at the driveway.The full bath pairs a granite-topped vanity with its original tile floor. Down the hall, the secondary bedroom holds real closet space, a double-door closet paired with a second reach-in, a rarity in a house this age.This one is for t
