Set on an Estate sized lot offering genuine privacy in the South Hill neighborhood, this iconic 1920's Tudor Revival pairs timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Period details shine—brick facade, coved ceilings, oak floors, original molding, wood doors, hardware, entry tile, and classic windows—while a 2011 addition introduces a refined primary suite, office, and garage with historically consistent design. The sunlit kitchen and living room open to the formal dinning room with fireplace and two walls of sliding glass doors that lead to a covered porch. Home features 3 beds, 3 baths, 3,122sf, 3 fireplaces, slate and cork flooring, a covered view deck, garage/wellness area and a basement with its own entrance, living room and 3/4 bath. Sited on an 18,295sf lot with territorial views, a seasonal bay outlook, charming orchard and a front yard thats large, level and surrounded with mature landscaping. Ideally located just moments from Fairhaven, with easy access to local shops, dining, parks, and nearby schools, 1720 Knox Ave. offers an exceptional blend of lifestyle, convenience, and enduring appeal.
