Key Facts
Description
The character of this 1918 home blends timeless craftsmanship with generous living space and thoughtful updates, offering the charm of early 20th-century architecture with the flexibility modern households need. Close to schools, golf course, walking trails, Bacon Aquatic Center, and Gillette Park, offering convenience too. Inside, you’re welcomed by a staircase in the foyer that proclaims grandeur. This space sets the tone for the home's rich architectural details such as original woodwork, tall ceilings, and large windows. The living room is large enough to have space for conversation, or reading nook, as well as home entertainment set off by built-in storage and a cozy fireplace. The dining area is accommodating for a dinner party or everyday dining. The kitchen has a breakfast nook, and has been updated with quartz countertops, new appliances, and fixtures. It also has a walk-in pantry! The half bath on the main floor is adorable, and has been recently updated. The second floor has three bedrooms, with beautiful natural light, and all of the timeless charm of the main floor. The main bathroom has a walk in shower, soaking tub, large vanity, ample storage and space for washer and dryer. The finished attic adds exceptional versatility and can serve as the fourth bedroom, private guest suite, home office, or additional living area. The attached 3-car garage offers room for vehicles, storage, and hobbies. While the bonus area above the garage, accessible from the garage or house, creates even more versatile space—ideal for a recreation room, fitness area, primary, or in-law suite. Outside, you find the back yard that serves as a private outdoor oasis with a concrete patio, privacy fence, hot tub, and plenty of space for gathering. The yard has room to throw a ball, or exercise a pet, but is easily managed. This property reflects the lasting curb appeal of a historic home, combining classic design with expansive living areas rarely found in newer construction.
