Framed from the street by a mature ginkgo, this stately circa 1906 Brown Shingle reflects the enduring character of Elmwood architecture, thoughtfully composed for both form and function. A gracious entry unfolds into light-filled living and dining rooms, where period details and refined proportions create a sense of quiet elegance. The kitchen is both practical and inviting, offering well-considered workspace and an intimate setting for everyday moments. At the rear, a garden-facing family room rises to a lofty, skylit ceiling, drawing in natural light and creating an airy connection to the outdoors. Doors open to a landscaped garden with brick patio, fruit trees, and established plantings—an environment that feels both cultivated and relaxed, with fertile soil suited to gardening or outdoor dining. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide flexibility, including one with an adjoining sunroom—a luminous, adaptable space suited for reading, work, or reflection. Throughout, original architectural elements are preserved and complemented by thoughtful updates, resulting in a home that feels both timeless and comfortably lived in. Ideally located in the heart of Elmwood, just moments to neighborhood cafés, shops, and everyday conveniences. Walk Score 94 BESO: 3
