Some homes are built. This one was crafted. From the moment you step inside, the details stop you. Leaded diamond windows casting prismatic light across hardwood floors. Intricate woodwork no modern builder can replicate. A parsons bench framing the entry. A coal-burning fireplace that has anchored this home for over a century. These aren’t design choices — they’re history, preserved. The layout is as thoughtful as it is flexible — formal dining, a bonus room that easily becomes a 4th bedroom, and a full bath on the main floor. Upstairs, the primary suite is a genuine retreat: his and her closets, a jetted soaking tub, and dual shower heads for the kind of daily indulgence that makes you look forward to winding down. Behind the beauty, the bones are solid. Tankless water heater, major updates 2016–2024, and a one-year home warranty. Outside, a low-maintenance turf backyard, 600 SF detached garage with alley access, RV parking, and a sprinkler system out front. Walk Score 83. Minutes to I-5. Walking distance to MultiCare. This is the house people describe to their friends. Come see why.
