There is something very special about homes built in the 40’s and 50’s. These homes are a testament to post-war resilience and innovation in architecture. Homes from this era often embody a unique blend of charm and practicality that continues to keep them very relevant to today’s lifestyles. You will understand this when you walk through the front door of this very special home. The living room commands the front of the home and has a classically styled gas fireplace anchoring the space. Looking past this space you get a glimpse of the dining room with plenty of space for family gatherings. On the back of the home, the renovated kitchen with all of its thoughtful details creates another wonderful gathering space for family and friends. The nicely sized bedrooms on the main and on the second floor provide plenty of quiet space when those moments arise. Don’t’ forget to peek downstairs! The lower level is finished with additional space for people to spread out.
