A stately brown shingle on one of the neighborhood's most beloved streets, where tree canopies frame the block and the vibe is pure joy. Step onto the generous front porch and into a home that seamlessly blends architectural integrity with light-filled comfort. Inside, original wainscoting some painted, some preserved adds texture and charm, while tall windows bring in leafy views from every angle.
The grand entry with built-in bench opens to an expansive living room with box beam ceilings, rich woodwork, and leaded glass windows that frame the treetops. Just beyond, a formal dining room glows with its original built-ins, perfect for memorable gatherings. The updated eat-in kitchen features quartzite counters, generous cabinetry, and seamless flow to the backyard where you'll find a garden retreat with lemon trees, lawn, and a dedicated space to dine under the stars. Whether entertaining or unwinding, this yard offers room to breathe and grow. Upstairs, discover 4+ bedrooms and a top-floor rumpus room ideal for play, work, or retreat. With hardwood floors throughout, two fireplaces, and vintage details at every turn, this home balances timeless charm with everyday livability.
Close to schools and College Avenue walk, roll, or ride and enjoy the neighborly magic.
