About this home

A truly special single-family home. Built in the 1870s, this little jewel has modern updates and systems—the best of both worlds. The living room benefits from SE-facing windows and hardwood floors, while the dining room features a built-in china cabinet. Remodeled using white cabinets, granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a farmer's sink, and a butcher block peninsula, the kitchen is a stylish space in which to cook and work. A mudroom, coat closet, and half bath complete this level. Upstairs, one of the two bedrooms has been converted into a study, with extensive built-in shelving and a vaulted ceiling. The spacious full bathroom features limestone and mosaic tile, and leads into the second bedroom, with customized double closets. The basement houses the washer and dryer and provides plenty of storage. With flowering trees and perennials, a raised bed, and a stone patio, the backyard offers a welcome city retreat. SHOWINGS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
