Step back in time and experience the unmatched charm of this 1925-built home, where stunning original details have been preserved and enhanced for modern living. Leaded glass windows, pocket doors, rich gumwood trim, gleaming hardwood floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, elegant crown molding, and period lighting highlight the home’s craftsmanship. The spacious living room is flooded with natural light, featuring a fireplace flanked by built-ins and direct access to the front porch. The formal dining room boasts gumwood wainscoting and built-in storage benches, while the large kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and a natural stone peninsula — ideal for gatherings or casual daily meals. Upstairs, you’ll find three sizable bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom includes a bright morning/dressing area and built-in storage, while another bedroom features a charming sleeping porch. Additional highlights include a full walk-up attic and a bright, clean basement offering plenty of potential. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home’s character, including an added first-floor half bath, updated exterior doors, and a comprehensive window upgrade — vinyl replacements and storm windows preserving the original wood frames and ornate leaded glass. Recent exterior paint accentuates the home’s period craftsmanship, while the rebuilt front porch with detailed woodwork provides a perfect place to unwind or greet neighbors. Outside, enjoy a new driveway, a paver patio beneath a pergola and a beautifully landscaped, fully fenced yard that’s easy to maintain. A rare find, the property also offers a three-car garage with concrete floor and automatic door openers.
