A piece of 1920s architectural heritage! Homes like this were designed at the crossroads of craftsmanship & practicality. ORIGINAL HARDWOOD FLOORS AND SOLID WOOD DOORS in this home aren’t just beautiful. They were likely milled from old-growth timber, which is denser & more dimensionally stable than much of what’s available today. Its high-quality wood siding was installed to age gracefully, & has been maintained rather than replaced. Features like the CLAWFOOT BATHTUB were a standard fixture of quality homes back then. Its symmetrical layout feels intentional, cozy, & proportionate with big, bright windows that were strategically placed for cross-ventilation. Updates include KITCHEN REMODEL with high-end cabinets & marble counters, windows, patio door, CUSTOM-SHAPED DECK, & EPOXY FLOORING in basement, making it a functional space not often seen in historic homes. Renovations even uncovered a recipe card from one of the home’s early owners... an endearing piece of this home’s history!
