About This Home

As of January 2026

They don't make them like this anymore! Lovingly cared for through the years, this 1916 Craftsman home sits just blocks from downtown, parks, and restaurants. The spacious kitchen features quarter-sawn oak cabinets, solid-surface countertops, and soft-close drawers. Formal dining room with built-in buffet and leaded-glass windows. Large living room with crown molding, original built-ins, and a cozy brick fireplace with tiled hearth. Main-floor bedroom, butler's pantry, and bright 4-season room. Upstairs offers three bedrooms and a half bath. Updated electrical, central air, and a basement with high ceilings and workshop potential. Tree-lined corner lot with a detached two-car garage. A rare blend of history, charm, and location makes this a home you'll be proud to call your own.
