About This Home

As of August 2019

Grand 4-bedroom, 3-bath brown shingle home. Room count and square footage in MLS fields reflects house + units combined as drawn by appraiser. Detailed floor plans and interactive 3D tour are available. Gorgeous vintage details, bay view, large sunny rear yard, easy walk to several shopping hubs. The house includes a 500+sf finished attic, library, breakfast room, enclosed sun room, and large protected dining balcony. Many original architectural elements are intact, including leaded-glass built-ins, hammered metal hardware and fixtures, deep window seats, unpainted hardwood wainscoting, plate moldings, and boxed-beam ceilings.
