Turn-of-the-Century Charm with Timeless Character
Step into this captivating 1910 two-story stucco and brick home, where original craftsmanship and thoughtful updates blend beautifully. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be drawn to the limestone-covered front porch and the warmth this historic home exudes.
Inside, you’ll find exquisite original wood beams, hardwood floors, and original hardwood trim throughout, all meticulously preserved. The vaulted main floor ceilings with exposed beams, built-in bookcases, and a gracious formal dining room create an inviting space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen retains its classic appeal with original leaded glass windows and a charming breakfast nook, while the home offers a practical layout featuring a main-floor bedroom and three additional bedrooms upstairs, all with walk in closets and built in storage. A full bath is located on the upper level, with a half bath in the basement. (There is a shower in the basement that is not currently in working order.)
Enjoy views of the large, tree-filled backyard from the three-season porch, surrounded by numerous established perennials—a peaceful setting that feels private and serene.
Recent improvements include a newer boiler furnace (2019), updated wiring in most of the home, new garage doors (fall 2024), new dishwasher (2025), updated light fixtures, and fresh interior paint throughout most of the home.
This is a true turn-of-the-century charmer, rich with original character and architectural details you simply can’t replicate. Some photos are virtually staged.
Don’t miss the virtual tour and your opportunity to fall in love with this one-of-a-kind home.
