This charming collection of 8 homes were built in the mid-1920’s, originally serving as an artists community.
As you enter this corner property through the beautiful front courtyard, you’ll instantly be greeted by vibrant English gardens showcasing a gorgeous medley of perennials and fruit trees.
Enter through the front door and take note of rich hardwood flooring throughout the home. The first floor features a tiled entryway with coat closet and a spacious living room with a beautiful wood burning fireplace and original stained glass window to the staircase. There's a separate dining room with a built-in glass cabinet, perfect for additional storage while entertaining. There's a reading nook adjacent to the dining room, which would also make a great home office area. French doors open to a peaceful deck (installed 2017) with a beautiful Wisteria tree, providing both shade and privacy.
The kitchen features elegant black cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, remarkable copper countertops, state-of-the-art wine refrigerator, lustrous slate floors, and gas cooking. There's a large pantry closet for additional storage. There's a powder room off of the kitchen along with a rear exterior door providing access to the back of the property, garage and driveway area. The second level features a spacious main bedroom with two closets, a generous sized hall full bathroom with shower/tub, and two additional spacious bedrooms with beautiful windows and tons of natural light.
This cottage home boasts a full sized, unfinished basement with a walk-out exit to the exterior and a laundry area with a utility sink and shelf storage. There's a walk up third level attic with potential to be utilized for storage or finished to serve as added living space. Additional property amenities include an attached two-car garage, two deeded parking spaces in front of the home, a new gas furnace (2019), a new water heater (2021), central air, overhauled electrical, and a recently certified slate roof (2021) that has been serviced quarterly. Recent improvements include whole house interior painting including walls, ceiling, trim; the wall color is Sherwin Williams designer paint color "Creamy White" (October 2021); landscaping and tree trimming (2021).
