About This Home

As of December 2022

In the heart of the Elmwood, just steps from College Avenue shops and restaurants, this spacious and elegant John Hudson Thomas designed 1909 Craftsman home has great curb appeal and boasts many period details. The large living room with original built ins is great for entertaining and showcases a large prominent fireplace. The dining room opens to an oversized level park-like backyard with fruit trees, planting beds and a detached cottage that houses a workshop and art studio. A huge attic spans the whole footprint of the house and has enormous potential for development. Virtually untouched for decades, the home has been in the same family for over 50 years and is an absolutely rare find.
