Colonial Revivals and Tudor Revivals line quiet residential streets
Take a stroll through this quiet, residential district and you’ll see towering elms, birches and evergreens lining the streets and peeking out from front and back yards. Well-maintained sidewalks, generous setbacks and lush landscaping give this area a natural feel that residents love. You'll find homes dating back to the early-1900s, including stately Colonial Revivals, cozy cottages and steep-roofed Tudor Revivals. Today's owners have lovingly maintained these homes over the years, making thoughtful upgrades while retaining the home's original charm.
