    What's special

    Thoughtful craftsmanshipBeautiful period moldingsThree bedroomsRare built-in flour sifterMature shade treesBeautiful picture windowWrap-around front porch
    Vintage means timeless; the real thing never goes out of style. In a world where new construction is borrowing heavily from Craftsman design, here's your chance to own the authentic original. Built nearly 100 years ago, this classic Arts & Crafts/Craftsman home has stood the test of time with grace and character, cared for by only three owners in 99 years. Imagine starting your mornings on the wrap-around front porch, coffee in hand, gently swaying on the porch swing beneath mature shade trees. Step inside to find a cozy living room anchored by a fireplace and a beautiful picture window that fills the space with natural light, along with hardwood floors and beautiful period moldings throughout. The home's historic charm continues in the kitchen, where you'll discover a rare built-in flour sifter (how cool is that?), refrigerator, a spacious walk-in pantry with shelving, and thoughtful craftsmanship that's hard to find today. Three bedrooms and one bath, along with the living room and dining room, make it the perfect size for the first-time homebuyer, folks downsizing, or even for buying a 2nd home to be close to grandchildren.( people really do that)! There is a separate laundry/mud room & has a washer & dryer. The heating & air system was installed in 2024 (propane heat). A stand-alone workshop needs some love but has many possibilities, since it has electricity, lighting, & a concrete floor. Picket-fenced(who doesn't love a picket fence!)backyard—ideal for children & pets. Conveniently located to downtown South Boston, where you'll find churches, the public library, restaurants, the local brewery, the Prizery, and doctors' offices. A pre-listing home inspection is available upon request. It was taken into consideration when we priced it along with comparables.
