Redfin agents who toured
What stood out in person is how the home blends an older, classic feel with more updated systems behind the scenes—something buyers may not expect from photos alone. The layout is highly unique, with each bedroom offering its own landing space and...
balcony, creating a sense of separation and individuality throughout. It’s a home that feels more like a collection of distinct living spaces than a traditional floor plan.
Every detail of this home is special. This is a recreation of a Victorian home with many vintage Victorian features. The home is split level with 5 levels a bathroom on every level.
