Originally built in 1926, this historic home retains much of its original charm including built-ins, original hardwood floors, and original stained doors with antique hardware throughout. Step onto the inviting front porch and enjoy a cold beverage while waving to your neighbors in this super-walkable part of the neighborhood. Spacious and private side-porch is the perfect spot for al fresco dinner parties and entertaining.

Once you enter the home you're greeted by a wood-burning fireplace and original built-in bookshelves and desk. A large family-sized living room connects to the first of two sun rooms, which gets incredible natural light. Perfect for additional living space, a playroom, or even a library. A large separate dining room connects the living space to the kitchen. The dining room can accommodate at least a 10 person dining room table and features a built-in window seat with storage. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with white subway tile, white quartz counters, and Viking gas range. Built-in china cabinet provides charm and storage. Step outside the kitchen door to a whimsical hidden garden patio, the perfect place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee. Rounding out the main floor are a truly charming vintage bathroom with blue checkerboard tile and built-in linen cabinet, a sunny and spacious guest room, and a bonus room that works perfectly as an office.

Upstairs you're immediately greeted by a large sun room with french doors, a previous owner & NYT best selling author used the space to write, finding inspiration as she penned over 30 novels. A perfect office, playroom, reading room ... the options are endless. Down the hall you'll find two secondary bedrooms and another charming vintage bathroom featuring beadboard wainscoting, white hexagon tile, and a clawfoot tub. At the end of the hallway, you'll enter your private sanctuary. The spacious primary suite features vaulted tongue and groove ceilings and more natural light than you'll know what to do with. Plenty of room for a king-sized bed and a sitting area to curl up and read a good book. Nestled among the trees, the view you'll wake up to will make you feel like you're in a storybook forest. The primary bathroom features stand alone shower, whirlpool tub, and vanity with plenty of storage. 800sf basement gives you plenty of options: storage, teen hangout area, home gym, there's even a room that can be used for a wine cellar. Outside you'll find a perfectly flat, blank canvas for a yard. Make this yard work for your lifestyle, outdoor kitchen, landscaped cottage garden, play area for kids or even a swimming pool.
