PROPERTY LAYOUT:
Our home was lovingly designed with a nod towards its history. Constructed in 1925, our home was totally remodeled over the years, with all bathrooms remodeled in 2024. Solid hardwood floors throughout, original woodwork, solid wood library...if you enjoy the vibe of historic homes, but with modern amenities, this is the place for you!

Arriving at our home, you're able to enter via the attached garage, or through the front door, with your unique key code. Our home is very private on account of lush vegetation on all sides of the property! On the front porch, to the right is the gas grill, and to the left is the patio seating area.

Once inside our home, to the right is the well stocked kitchen; attached is the colorful breakfast nook, as well as the inviting dining room. Through the dining room you'll arrive in the sun-drenched library (chess, anyone?)
Through the library, you'll arrive in the living room, complete with comfy couch, seating area, grand piano, and more. Once through the living room, you'll complete the loop and be back at the front door.

Heading upstairs to the second floor, you'll find 3 bedrooms & two bathrooms. The primary king bedroom to your left has the soaker tub + shower setup. Ahead of the stairs you'll find one of the queen rooms, which is attached to the jack & jill-style bathroom. Down the hall you'll find another king bedroom with office. Heading up to the 3rd floor, you'll find two more bedrooms - one at the front of the house and one on the side. Here you'll find another ensuite bathroom, perfect for privacy! Lastly, on this floor you'll also find the dedicated office and / or baby room, complete with crib.

With the exception of a locked cleaning closet, the entire home is accessible.

This was a beautiful house in a very nice neighborhood. We were in town for a family funeral and needed a place close to the funeral activities. The house is just beautiful, well appointed and comfortable,and very roomy. There are very nice restaurants, shops, activities etc. fairly close by.
