Situated on three beautifully landscaped lots totaling .60 acres, the property features lush perennial beds, concrete curbing, and multiple driveways.

The expansive backyard offers plenty of room for play, gardening, or entertaining. Inside, 9' ceilings enhance the spacious feel. The open living and dining area is a massive, centrally located gathering space. Off the living room, a cozy study/library/den features a full wall of built-ins and an inviting nook ideal for an electric fireplace. The large eat-in kitchen includes 42" solid wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, and generous storage, plus a convenient butler’s pantry connecting to the dining room. Two main-floor bedrooms offer flexibility—one with a walk-in closet, the other with a private enclosed porch overlooking the backyard, perfect for a gym, reading nook, or quiet retreat. A vintage main-floor bath in pristine condition adds timeless charm. Two laundry chutes between the main and upper levels add everyday convenience. Upstairs, a huge landing provides the perfect space for study time, gaming, slumber parties, or creative fun. A built-in desk with mirror and outlet is ideal for homework or makeup practice. Two very large bedrooms flank the landing, each with storage and built-in bookcases. Ceiling heights upstairs range from 6.5' to 7'. A central half bath and a quiet nook between rooms create additional functional spaces for studying or sensory needs. The lower level is truly exceptional—one of the nicest basements you’ll find in a home of this age. Bright, dry, painted, and meticulously maintained, every room offers something useful. A full bath with walk-in shower is perfect for muddy days or direct entry from the storm-door entrance. Storage, workshop space, and spotless utility areas round out this impressive level. This home oozes charm, character, and positive energy—a rare opportunity to own a historic property in extraordinary condition with unmatched space, updates, and personality.
