This is the kind of home you stay put in - because honestly, what could be better?

There’s more to this home than meets the eye. On the exterior a newer roof and updated windows eliminate big ticket expenditures. A custom stone front stoop was added to elevate the storybook facade. Original French windows cascade across the home’s perimeter, while underground - 30 feet of main line have been replaced.

This home’s living spaces sit on the South side of the home leaving the space drenched in natural light throughout the day. Graceful arches and a neutral paint palette define rooms while keeping the floorplan open and airy.

The original 1920’s light fixtures preserve the rich history of this home. A tapered wood-burning fireplace makes for the loveliest focal point.

Original wood floors flow from the living room into the dining space. A jaw-dropping original chandelier, chunky millwork and a delicate chair rail elevates the appeal.

The kitchen has been updated with an Italian marble backsplash, quartz counters, luxury vinyl flooring and stainless steel appliances. A newly installed breakfast bar peers out over the professionally landscaped backyard.

Maple cabinets tie in the warm tones of the wood floors while the same delicate arch is repeated in the space.
