This well-built 1930s house exudes historic charm and is a true head-turner. With its solid construction and spacious interior, it was built to last. True craftsmanship is evident in the exterior brickwork, dental molding, and trim. Oil-rubbed hardwoods adorn the entire house, except for the kitchen and bathrooms, which are tile. A curved plaster ceiling, entry foyer, and descending staircase create a grand ambiance. Custom wainscoting, chair rail, original built-in cabinets, and cedar-lined closets add to the home’s charm. The formal living room features a fireplace that leads to a three-sided glass sunroom. The formal dining room connects to the breakfast room, which has a built-in butlers pantry and an updated kitchen with classic black and white tile and a walk-in pantry. The main level includes a bedroom/office and a bathroom. An extra-wide staircase leads to a large landing and four bedrooms, and a pull down staircase opens up to a large expandable attic. The front right bedroom has access to a rooftop terrace. The basement features a workshop, laundry area, and a half-bathroom. The rear patio and partially fenced yard provide outdoor living space. The home has a hybrid HVAC system, with the main level heating and the upper level using a heat pump. The roof and gutters were replaced in 2013. Energy-efficient windows have also been installed. This home is conveniently located just a short distance from downtown businesses, restaurants, and the new Pfeiffer Campus.
