A hundred years of getting it right. This 1924 Craftsman sits at the top of the hill on a flat corner lot, pulling light from every side. Japanese maples on the parking strip. The jasmine arbor at the entry sets the tone before you've touched the door. Step through it and the city falls away. Inside, quarter-sawn white oak in the living and dining rooms, original red fir in the bedrooms — all under crown molding that hasn't been compromised. A circular floor plan that never stops moving. The kitchen is serious: butcher block, BlueStar range, blue and white ceramic mosaic, built-in eating nook, Marmoleum floor. The mudroom behind it has a divided lite Craftsman back door and floor-to-ceiling pantry. Step out to the small sunny south-facing deck and two staircases drop you into the gardens — one east, one west. The main floor bedroom has a huge walk-in closet — use it as a home office or music room. The stair landing: a full built-in bookcase. Upstairs, the Craftsman stops being modest. The dormered primary has vaulted beamed ceilings, two closets, travertine bath with skylight and jetted tub. The second bedroom tucks comfortably under its angled roofline with a large walk-in closet. The basement is clean and dry — built-in storage, bonus room, exterior backyard access. Detached 2-car garage, workshop, attic storage, Level 2 charger-ready. Fully pre-inspected. Walk to Martha Washington Park and Pritchard Island Beach. A hundred years in — this house still knows what it's doing.
