About this home

An architectural masterpiece of the 1940s, this classic four-square home showcases craftsmanship rarely found today. Set proudly on a corner lot with a detached two-car garage plus additional off-street parking, the property combines historic character with everyday convenience. Wrapped in shake siding, accented by deep soffits, and crowned with dormers, the exterior immediately impresses. The fully fenced private backyard offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a rear deck perfect for family gatherings and outdoor entertaining. Inside, the home is rich with beautiful wood floors, leaded glass windows, detailed casings and moldings, and an original mantel that serves as a striking focal point in the spacious living room. A large, enclosed porch—featuring fully operational original windows and screens—adds a rare bonus space for relaxing in season. Enter through the charming portico, an ideal drop zone for outerwear, and step into the welcoming front foyer with a convenient half bath and the home’s original wood staircase. The formal dining room offers generous space for hosting, while the kitchen retains its original glass-front cabinetry, adding warmth and authenticity. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms and a centrally located updated bath, providing comfort and functionality for today’s lifestyle. Need more room? The full walk-up attic offers exceptional storage or the potential for future expansion into additional living space. A clean, dry walkout basement provides even more storage, a dedicated laundry area, and easy access to utilities—ideal for organization and practicality. This well-maintained, well-built home is a rare opportunity to own a timeless piece of neighborhood history with space, charm, and flexibility for years to come.
