If old world craftsmanship is your passion, then you'll appreciate this Circa 1925 3-story Colonial style home, built to last and oozing classic beauty. Every once in a while you come across a home where history comes alive. Let me explain. Upon entering the property, you will approach a large front porch which will encourage your outdoor relaxation on those warm summer nights. Continuing into the house, crossing over the threshold into the parlor of this vintage 1925 home, you will be overcome with acute nostalgia for the grace and charm of a bygone era rarely seen today. You will step back into time and, as you scan the first floor, you will observe beautifully preserved woodwork throughout, from the hardwood floors, to the beautiful staircase leading to the 2nd floor, the magnificent trim around the doorways and floor, and the classically elegant pocket doors. This home exudes charm, dignity, and character. Offering the best of old and new, the kitchen has been completely updated with granite counters, a convenient island for food prep(with a built-in recycling cabinet and soft close drawers) or, possibly, a place to hang out during social gatherings, and stainless sink and appliances. The baths have been updated over the years and offer convenience on both the 1st and 2nd floors. All rooms are well sized. Experience the charm of a bygone era when quality wasn't an option. Don't wait any longer, schedule time to see a magnificent home that emanates an "old world" atmosphere from top to bottom and start enjoying this timeless classic!
