Built in 1923 this prime lot was purchased and a stately brick home was built with great bones. Beautiful open staircase and vintage details throughout. New kitchen with marble counters and custom cabinetry make this home sing. Four large bedrooms on the second floor. Huge attic space with room for expansion. Full basement leads to a one car garage.
