About This Home

Step Back in Time — A True Work of Art Step back in time with this one-of-a-kind home, built and designed by a master bricklayer whose passion for the craft began at just 14 years old. Every inch of this residence showcases his artistry — from the breathtaking brick patterns and curved archways to the distinctive fence design that earned him features in national magazines. The main level offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with a welcoming front porch and breezeway perfect for relaxing afternoons. Inside, the cozy living room invites you to unwind, surrounded by craftsmanship you simply don't see today. Head downstairs and discover the ultimate retro hangout — a nostalgic basement featuring one of the coolest vintage bars around. The owners' children fondly remember the space filled with laughter, music, and even a disco ball that once lit up the family room. Outside, enjoy beautiful perennials and a private courtyard ideal for grilling, entertaining, or quiet conversation. This isn't just a house — it's a timeless work of art, built with love, skill, and a true sense of creativity. Come experience the magic for yourself... and imagine making this masterpiece your next home.
