About This Home

As of March 2021

Beautifully restored and expanded 1920s bungalow located in historic North Norhill is ready for its next owner! An entertainer’s delight inside and out, this home exudes the charm of a bygone era with modern updates. From the front living room with the big picture window to the dining room that is the heart of the home, the “flow” of the house is enviable. Bathed in natural light with hardwoods throughout. A true split floorplan, the owner’s suite is found in its’ own corner of the home and features an en-suite bathroom with oversize shower and a large walk-in closet. The high efficiency 2 stage AC system includes a built-in air purifier, and there are several “smart house” components. Multiple outdoor spaces include a front porch, generous back
deck, hardscaped flagstone patio, and big backyard with room for a pool. Recent updates include whole-house exterior paint, and new landscaping. Superb location in the Heights, and yards from the Norhill esplanade. *all info per Seller
