Reminiscent of a storybook cottage yet grand in presence, this historic English Tudor-style home offers a rare opportunity to own a property with unmistakable character, craftsmanship, and timeless curb appeal. From the moment you arrive, the steeply pitched façade, classic stucco-and-brick exterior details, and inviting round-arched entry door set the tone for a home that feels both distinguished and welcoming. Every detail reflects the charm of a treasured architectural era, from the thoughtful proportions to the rich materials that give this home its one-of-a-kind personality.
Inside, the home continues to impress with bold woodwork, an ornate staircase, ceiling beams, tall windows, and built-in features that showcase the quality and warmth of its historic design. An enclosed foyer offers a gracious welcome and practical space for guests, while the main floor provides a functional layout for both everyday living and memorable entertaining. The formal living room is filled with natural light from accented windows on both sides, and the gas fireplace creates an inviting setting for quiet evenings, meaningful conversations, and gatherings with family and friends. Just off the living room, a den with built-ins offers flexibility as a home office, reading room, or potential main-floor bedroom. The formal dining room, accented with striking wooden beams, flows into an updated kitchen featuring newer black stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry and pantry storage, and access to an informal dining area. A charming desk nook overlooks the backyard, creating the perfect spot for writing letters to distance relatives and friends, planning, or a peaceful morning coffee. Additional features include a screened porch connecting the home to an insulated and finished two-car garage, plus a convenient attached 1.5-car garage off the informal dining area. Upstairs, three charming bedrooms, a three-quarter bath. Set on a large corner lot with exceptional garage space, generous storage, modern updates, and historic architectural detail throughout, this distinctive Tudor home blends old-world elegance with everyday livability. Truly unique and full of character, it stands apart from the ordinary. Schedule your private showing today and experience its charm for yourself.
