Some homes are defined by what is new. Others are special because of what has been preserved. 2007 Marchbanks Ave - A Home With a Story. Built in 1929, this classic brick home has the kind of character that simply cannot be recreated. From the moment you approach the welcoming covered front porch, there is a sense that this is a home that has been enjoyed and cared for through generations.
Step inside and the craftsmanship of another era immediately takes center stage. Beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout the home, complemented by tall smooth ceilings, substantial crown molding and trim, French doors, built-in cabinetry, and multiple fireplaces.
Large windows bring natural light into nearly every room, highlighting the details that give this home its warmth and personality. From room to room, you'll find generous spaces filled with character, natural light, and original details. The main living room feels gracious yet comfortable, centered around a classic fireplace.
Beyond it, additional sitting and gathering spaces offer the flexibility to create a library, home office, music room, or quiet retreat. The formal dining room is especially memorable, with its fireplace, built-in china cabinet, hardwood floors, and French doors.
It is easy to imagine this room filled with family and friends for holidays, Sunday dinners, and celebrations. The kitchen reflects the home's traditional character while offering plenty of space to make it your own. Generous cabinetry, built-in shelving, a center island with cooktop, and an adjoining breakfast area provide a functional layout with wonderful potential.
Throughout the bedrooms, you'll find more of the details that make this home distinctive-hardwood floors, oversized windows, substantial moldings, and rooms that feel bright and comfortable rather than confined. Upstairs, an unfinished attic provides an impressive amount of additional storage space along with plenty of potential.
Whether kept as easily accessible storage or reimagined to suit a future owner's needs, it's another feature that adds flexibility to the home. And the living space doesn't end at the front door. A large sunroom offers a peaceful transition between indoors and out, surrounded by mature trees and greenery.
It's the kind of space made for a morning cup of coffee, an afternoon with a good book, or a quiet evening enjoying the outdoors. The property also offers something increasingly difficult to find: serious workshop and storage space. An approximately 16' x 24' brick outbuilding, equipped with electricity and air unit, opens the door to countless possibilities-from a workshop or studio to a hobby space or extensive storage.
Additional outbuildings add even more versatility. Behind all of its historic charm are practical improvements, including an encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier, electrical updates, and newer roof and HVAC. 2007 Marchbanks Ave isn't a cookie-cutter home-and that's exactly its appeal.
It's a home with history, craftsmanship, generous rooms, mature surroundings, and the opportunity for its next owner to preserve what makes it special while adding their own chapter to its story. Additional acreage is available for purchase with this home.
