Herringbone-style brick sidewalks, tree-line streets, and brick front steps with black wrought-iron railing precede this delightful 3BRs/1 bath 1910-built 2-story home. Step into this century-plus twin home and appreciate earlier-era architecture beautifully blended with today s modern-life amenities and neutral palette. Front room is spacious and sun-drenched thanks to the double window on front wall where natural light streams in and enhances rich random-width gradated hardwood floors. Extra-wide baseboards are throughout lending depth, while beautiful floor-to-ceiling brick FP with handsome wood mantle is focal point of room offering warmth and standing as welcoming element. It s easy to envision array of comfortable seating of couches and chairs around the FP and all enjoying a cozy fire on a cold winter s eve. Home echoes traditional front-to-back floor plan of rooms defined and separate, with DR just beyond front room. Hardwoods, wide baseboards and ivory paint continue in DR with addition of wrought-iron ceiling light. Quaint ambiance reigns here as well with steps with carpeting, leaving partial handsome hardwood exposed, and wood railing. True to floor-plan kitchen is past DR and features roomy dining area.

It s both practical and pretty! Display books, photos and pottery on shelves, and use cabinets for space-saving storage. MBR is not only large, but also boasts the 2nd floor-to-ceiling brick FP of the home as well as 2 full closets. A true delight!
