About This Home
As of April 2025Welcome to the J. Henry Thorpe House, an elegant Georgian Revival brick residence ca. 1935 and located in sought-after Paterson Park. This home has undergone extensive renovation of the highest quality that utilizes a timeless aesthetic with equal attention paid to making important infrastructure improvements. The property exhibits an unusual degree of privacy -- the home is sited well-back from the street behind a substantial stone wall; the fenced rear gardens abut extensive acreage belonging to the Blackstone Park Conservation District. The fully fenced property encompasses over 1/2 an acre of carefully landscaped gardens, complete with a charming koi pond. This is a truly unique and tranquil oasis set in a vibrant urban environment.
