This 3-story townhouse in the post-Victorian “Colonial Revival” style has c.1911 period details galore! A striking entry vestibule, glimmering leaded glass in windows and doors, original woodwork, lovely oak flooring with decorative borders, red and yellow pine flooring, and a handsome curving staircase.

Out back, the long, private rear yard showcases a gorgeous yellow magnolia tree. Upstairs, there are 7 rooms – bedrooms and/or plenty of places to spread out for work-at-home and other uses. Two ceramic tile baths. The 4th floor attic has a tall, usable space which many nearby neighbors have converted to a home office or play area.
