About This Home

As of December 2024

Do you desire an unforgettable early 20th century home with a fully-finished lower-level, tranquil koi pond, marvelous primary suite, and a potential-packed "framed-out" walkup attic? Get ready to fall head-over-heals at 8 Mountain View Avenue! Tucked away on a neighborly street, this 4BR/3BA residence captures the imagination with a front sitting porch, mature shrubbery, and a manicured 0.45-acre lot. Originally built in 1906, early twentieth-century charm resonates from the carefully curated interior. Once inside, you discover gorgeous original millwork, an openly flowing traditional layout, hardwood floors, and a living room with a stone wood-burning fireplace, chandelier, wood ceiling accents, and built-ins. Reminiscent of cherished holiday gatherings and early morning coffee chats, the upgraded eat-in kitchen impresses with tons of white cabinets, double wall ovens, breakfast bar, stainless-steel French door refrigerator, and a breakfast nook. Thoughtfully adjoining the kitchen, the combined family room and dining room is the perfect space for after-dinner drinks and shared laughter. Suited for relaxation, the upper-level primary bedroom dazzles with an attached en suite boasting a step-in shower and attractive finishes. Each upper-level guest bedroom is generously sized with a dedicated closet and shares access to a full bathroom.
