About this home

Welcome to this beautifully preserved 1925 brick story-and-a-half where timeless craftsmanship and meticulous care shine around every corner. This one-of-a-kind property has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for 35 years and reflects decades of thoughtful stewardship both inside the home and throughout the gardens. From the moment you arrive, the home will wow you! The character begins before you even enter with original arched exterior and interior entry doors, an ornate door knocker, the original mail slot, beautiful wood floors, and craftsmanship that continues throughout the home. The generous living room welcomes you with original hardwood floors, natural woodwork, built-ins, an original brick fireplace with a gas insert, and a beautiful staircase highlighted by a stunning swirl banister. The adjoining formal dining room continues the timeless character before French doors lead to a beautiful glass solarium with screened windows that invite refreshing summer breezes. The kitchen showcases charming vintage wallpaper, detailed woodwork above the cabinetry, and delightful period touches that have been lovingly preserved. Just beyond the kitchen, steps lead to the side entrance, which provides convenient access to the fully tarred driveway, matching brick garage, and the peaceful backyard oasis featuring perennial gardens, a tranquil water feature, winding pathways, and a shaded brick-and-paver patio. The garage thoughtfully features a rear bump-out designed to accommodate a longer vehicle. The surrounding green space and partially fenced-in yard make it feel like a private oasis: a grassy area, lush perennial gardens, a tranquil water feature, and mature trees for shade. Returning inside, the bright, exceptionally clean basement offers abundant storage, a laundry area, and flexible bonus space to suit a variety of needs (living room, office, workout area, etc.). Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms with surprisingly spacious closets and a full bath featuring beautifully preserved vintage tilework. Homes with this level of original character, exceptional care, and timeless charm are truly rare. Numerous updates, including the windows, have been completed over the years while thoughtfully preserving the home's historic integrity. This is a home that simply must be experienced in person.

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.
