✨ NEW PRICE! Own a Home with Character That Can Never Be Recreated. ✨

Some homes are built…others are crafted.

If you’re searching for a home with authentic character, exceptional craftsmanship, and timeless beauty, this is it. Every room showcases details that simply aren’t found in today’s construction—from breathtaking original woodwork and rich hardwood floors to stunning stained glass and vintage Edison lighting.

Unlike so many older homes that have been stripped of their personality, this one has been thoughtfully updated while preserving everything that makes it special. The remodeled kitchen blends modern convenience with classic style, while the original fireplace—now featuring gas logs—creates the perfect place to gather.

The finished attic offers a private primary suite full of charm. Enjoy mornings in the 3-season room overlooking the fully fenced backyard, unwind in the original clawfoot tub, and appreciate the convenience of the original carriage house converted into a spacious 3-car garage with a loft for extra storage.

🏡 Homes with this level of craftsmanship, warmth, and authenticity rarely become available.

💥 Now offered at a NEW PRICE! $509,900

Don’t miss your opportunity to own a home that stands apart from the ordinary. Schedule your private showing today and experience the difference true character makes.
