This modified American Four Square specimen house has not traded hands in 58 years. Originally designed and built for an esteemed Judge in 1918, this house espouses the hopefulness flowing through the country with the end of WW I. The soaring optimism and desire for opulence was an early precursor to the roaring 20's. Please see attached article for all of the elaborate architectural details recently highlighted by a great local architect for The Talbot Spy. This house in later years served as 3 flats...one on each floor. Hence the kitchen on the second floor and the plumbing and wiring for a former kitchen on the 3rd floor. This can fairly easily be converted back to a splendid single family home of great importance. Located just 2.5 blocks from the banks of the mighty Choptank, yet out of the floodplain and on one of the broadest, most prestigious streets in Cambridge, this is a prime piece of real estate. Sited on .42 of an acre one can enjoy suburban living within a city context.
