Set on nearly two-thirds of an acre, this beautifully crafted property offers timeless elegance, exceptional functionality, and surprising privacy for a central city location. Featuring up to six bedrooms and five and a half baths, this home is filled with exquisite details, including hardwood floors, marble-trimmed fireplaces, high ceilings, elaborate moldings, and arched French doors.

The main level includes formal dining and living rooms with glass doors leading to a sunroom bathed in natural light, a breakfast room with sunrise views, a spacious walk-in pantry, and a half bath. Each second-floor bedroom has its private bath, and the third floor provides additional flexibility with three more rooms and two full baths.

For added versatility, the attached apartment features two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a separate entrance, separate utilities, and a one-car garage, offering rental potential or an ideal in-law suite with a long-term tenant already in place. Recent updates provide peace of mind, including a new boiler in 2018, a new roof in 2021, and a freshly sealed flat roof in 2024.
