Description

This one-of-a-kind, stately, 4-bedroom home is one block from Washington Park on a quiet street with no through traffic. Built in 1920, its quality construction is a limestone exterior and a slate roof(with a 75-150 year life expectancy)with interior plaster walls, hardwood flooring, and tile bathrooms. The home has an intentional, well-designed floorplan with beautiful windows that create light-filled spaces from every exposure. Updates are numerous: plumbing, electrical, refinished oak and beechwood...This one-of-a-kind, stately, 4-bedroom home is one block from Washington Park on a quiet street with no through traffic.
