About This Home
A stately brown shingle on one of the neighborhood’s most beloved streets, where tree canopies line the block and the vibe is pure joy. Step onto the broad front porch and into a home that blends architectural character with light-filled comfort. Inside, original wainscoting—some painted, some preserved—adds charm, while tall windows frame leafy views. The grand entry with built-in bench leads to a spacious living room with box beam ceilings, rich woodwork, and leaded glass. Just beyond, a formal dining room with original built-ins sets the stage for special gatherings. The updated eat-in kitchen offers quartzite counters, ample cabinetry, and easy access to the backyard—a garden retreat with lemon trees, lawn, and space to dine under the stars. Upstairs are 4+ bedrooms—unusually large for the style—plus generous closets and a top-floor rumpus room ideal for play, work, or retreat. With hardwood floors and vintage details throughout, this home pairs timeless charm with modern function. Near schools and College Ave—walk, roll, or ride.
