Listing Description

Some homes simply feel different -- richer, warmer, more storied. This is one of them. From the moment you step through the original double wood doors, you're greeted by craftsmanship you rarely see today: custom woodwork, preserved floors, and details that speak to generations of pride.

The first floor invites you to slow down and savor the space -- a cozy library, a den with built-ins, and rooms that glow with natural character. With 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a full in-law apartment, the home adapts effortlessly to modern life while keeping its timeless soul.

Recent updates blend seamlessly with the historic charm: a 2025 roof, 2020 gas water heater, and a power-vented furnace maintained with care year after year. The walk-up attic feels like a hidden opportunity waiting to be transformed.Outside, the oversized two-car garage, gated alley access, and flat fenced yard create a perfect backdrop for everyday living.

Relax on the private front porch or enjoy the back deck overlooking the yard. And the tucked-away front office with its own entrance adds a rare touch of privacy and convenience. This is a home meant to be cherished -- one with history, heart, and room for every chapter ahead.

Most all furniture and home items will be included, especially in the apartment, that comes fully furnished. Home will not be completely broom swept empty. Minimal furniture items will be removed prior to closing. All information is approximate, not warranted or guaranteed.
