About this property

Where Historic Grandeur Meets Modern Peace of Mind. Nestled on the desirable east side, this 1908 residence is a masterclass in architectural preservation and intelligent renovation. More than just a home, it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of history that has been meticulously updated for contemporary life. A grand foyer ushers you into an expansive, light-filled living room, where the original fireplace stands as the centerpiece of the room and gleaming hardwood floors flow underfoot. The adjacent sunroom-a delightful space with classic brick flooring-is the perfect sanctuary for relaxation, morning coffee or a private office. Ascend the home's original, beautifully preserved staircase to the second level, where four impressive bedrooms offer abundant space, large closets, and the same timeless character found throughout.
