About this home

Offered for sale for the first time in more than 45 years, this exceptionally well-cared-for 1934 home blends timeless character with comfortable, practical living. Steep rooflines, mature shade trees, and thoughtfully maintained landscaping create an inviting first impression. A private driveway and detached garage provide welcome off-street parking—an especially valuable feature in this convenient downtown location. Set within an established, walkable neighborhood, the home is close to parks, schools, shops, bike trails, and other community amenities. Inside, the warmth and craftsmanship of the home’s 1934 origins remain beautifully preserved. Hardwood floors, substantial natural woodwork, crown molding, and classic paneled doors carry throughout the main living areas. An arched doorway and original staircase add architectural interest, while abundant windows bring natural light into the living and dining rooms. The formal dining room is well-suited for both everyday meals and special gatherings, and the efficient kitchen offers generous oak cabinetry, ample workspace, and a bright window above the sink. Upstairs, the light-filled bedrooms feature hardwood floors, traditional trim, and the charming angled ceilings characteristic of the home’s design. Built-in storage and well-placed closets make practical use of the upper-level architecture. The full bath is finished with tile flooring, a tiled tub surround, and a classic pedestal sink, complementing the home’s enduring character. The lower level expands the home’s versatility with a generously sized family room that can accommodate recreation, hobbies, a home office, or casual gatherings. A separate laundry and mechanical area provides useful workspace and storage, along with updated heating and cooling equipment for added comfort and peace of mind. Lovingly maintained by the same owners for decades, this special property reflects an exceptional level of care throughout. It offers a rare opportunity to enjoy original character, comfortable living spaces, a desirable close-in location, and the pride of ownership that comes with becoming the next steward of a home with a remarkable history.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
