About This Home

As of August 2022

This quintessential 1907 Brown-Shingle Craftsman in sought-after Elmwood boasts architectural hallmarks of the era’s style: coffered box beam ceilings, wood wainscoting, leaded glass windows and elegant hardwood floors. The first floor has an entry foyer with a large alcove, a stately living room with built in Bay windows and a formal dining room. The large eat-in kitchen has updated cabinetry, a gas 6-burner cooktop, and an ample kitchen island. The kitchen opens to a sunny family room/office and a half bath. The kitchen, office/library and bonus room/2nd office have radiant floor heating. The backyard features a wraparound deck with built-in seating, planters, and a vine covered pergola. On the second floor you'll find 4 bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, a split full bathroom and a spectacular office-library with vaulted ceilings and built-in storage/cabinets galore. Upstairs the newly-renovated, bright, finished attic runs the length of the house offering a flex space for work or play.
