Towering linden trees surround the estate, creating a serene and picturesque setting in a highly desirable neighborhood.

Original windows, complete with dual panels that swing open from the inside, preserve the home's historic charm while flooding rooms with natural light. The expansive great room features custom-built-in library shelving, and the formal dining room impresses with a full wall of built-in cabinetryperfect for entertaining. French doors on the staircase landing lead outside, where a balcony is begging to be built. Additional highlights include a large detached garage, insulated and wired with a wood stove, and a converted side entrance mudroom with a pellet stove that opens to the kitchen, blending functionality and comfort seamlessly. Recent renovations include fresh plaster and paint throughout, preserving the home's character while ensuring a move-in-ready experience.
