This charming 1,507 sq ft residence sits on a large, level 0.30-acre lot and offers the perfect balance of vintage warmth and contemporary design. An Eric Rothman design, this home has been artfully reimagined to preserve its historic integrity while introducing modern updates and thoughtful architectural details that enhance light, flow, and livability. Step inside to find a light-filled living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, original hardwood floors, and corner windows that bring in natural light throughout the day, as the home is facing East-West.
