Built for the Buchan family and later home to one of the town's esteemed doctors for over fifty years, this Craftsman Bungalow has a rich heritage.

Contemporary updates include upmarket paint colors, modern window treatments, leather granite kitchen countertops, and a striking copper backsplash, creating a sophisticated atmosphere. With three spacious living areas and three bedrooms—each with a dedicated bath—the home offers ample space for relaxation and work-from-home setups. A main-level powder room, laundry room with pantry storage, and built-in cubbies provide additional functionality. A climate-controlled storage room brings the interior to 2,290 square feet. The first -floor owner's suite serves as a luxurious retreat with a spa-like bath featuring a Victoria + Albert soaking tub and large walk-in shower.
