Loved by the same family since 1979, this home has been the backdrop for decades of memories, holidays, and neighborhood gatherings. The welcoming neighborhood, spacious layout, and beautiful yard first drew the owners in ? and have kept them here for over 45 years.
Inside, timeless character shines through the beautifully restored original woodwork, painstakingly stripped and refinished by the owners in a true labor of love. The living room and solarium have long been favorite gathering spaces, especially during the holidays with a glowing Christmas tree in the solarium.
The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers connection without sacrificing defined spaces, allowing everyone to feel close while still enjoying room to spread out. Outside, the extensively landscaped yard has been lovingly cared for over the years, including flowers transplanted from the seller's grandparents? gardens.
Pride of ownership extends beyond aesthetics with extensive brick restoration and tuckpointing already completed using the home's original brick. Located in a neighborhood where the sellers? children walked to Hubbell, Callanan, and Roosevelt schools, this home offers not only timeless charm and thoughtful updates, but also a rare sense of history, care, and community.
