Overview

Built in 1897, this late-Victorian-era home has the kind of character that’s hard to replicate. Paired wood entry doors open to substantial original millwork and a graceful staircase, setting the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. The main level offers generously sized living and dining rooms, with an oversized bay window and decorative fireplace adding warmth and architectural interest. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with butcher-block countertops, a farmhouse sink, open shelving and room for a dining nook. Upstairs are two true bedrooms plus a flexible bonus room that works beautifully as a home office, dressing room, reading room, studio or play space. A Juliet balcony adds another charming detail. The walk-out lower level includes a full bathroom and useful space for gardening, projects, pets or storage. Outside, the deep fenced yard offers the kind of room that can be difficult to find in the city, with plenty of space to garden, entertain or create a private outdoor retreat. At the rear of the property, the carriage house adds another layer of history and possibility. The main level provides one-car garage parking, while the upper level was previously configured as a one-bedroom loft-style apartment. Conveyed strictly as-is and in need of restoration, it offers an intriguing opportunity for a future guest space, studio, home office or potential rental. With South Grand just one block away, neighborhood restaurants, coffee, shopping and everyday conveniences are all part of the lifestyle here.
