Property Description
Looking for something that doesn’t look like every other house on the block? This charming 1912 gem sits on a quiet dead-end street and is packed with character from the moment you walk in. Think stunning original woodwork, cozy window seats, and all the historic details you just don’t find anymore — blended seamlessly with the updates you want today. The remodeled and expanded kitchen is perfect for real-life living, and the refinished woodwork throughout keeps the home’s vintage charm shining. Need flexible space? You’ve got it — three bright solariums/bonus areas plus a sunny porch off the primary bedroom, ideal for working from home, curling up with a book, or creating your own peaceful retreat. There’s even a finished attic for guests, hobbies, or extra storage. And most recently, beautifully refinished, original hardwood floors throughout. Major updates give you peace of mind for years to come: new roof (2023), furnace (2024), A/C (2025), insulated windows, and gorgeous cedar siding that boosts curb appeal. If you love homes with soul, warmth, and a little bit of magic — this one’s truly one-of-a-kind. Come see how historic charm and modern comfort come together perfectly!
