About this home

~ This Architectural Delight was built in 1930, when they knew how to build them ~ Solid brick construction throughout, on a raised basement with original roof of terra-cotta tile. This home, actually now two complete homes, one on each floor, has a comfortable and open floor plan with large rooms. Wonderful period details such as oak parquet floors with mahogany basket weave & Greek Key inlay, fine plaster crown moldings & plaster walls, transom doorways, ten and eleven foot ceilings, double doorways in formal rooms, archways, four fireplaces with period surrounds, coffered ceiling, marble stairway & thresholds, all cedar closets. The interior is in remarkably good condition considering its age and may want the usual updating. Deferred maintenance necessary on some of the exterior. The listed SF does not include almost 800 SF of finished attic. This is a fantastic older home, ready for the correct renovation. Measured floor plan on MLS. The owner does not wish to do any additional repairs, thus 'as is'.
