Property Description
ASK HOW TO GET A MORTGAGE RATE IN THE 4% RANGE! Fall in love with the timeless beauty and architectural detail of this 1908 Colonial Revival Cottage, also identified as a Neoclassic Rowhouse by vintage home historian Denise Brady. The distinctive exterior showcases rows of decorative molding, an abundance of ornamental brackets above and below the Cyclops attic window and bay windows, and a striking combination of triple shiplap and V-rustic shiplap siding. With three bedrooms, one shared bathroom and one half bathroom, this house has approximately 1,499 sq.ft. of living space on a 5,125 sq.ft. lot. Step through the beveled-glass front door into a welcoming foyer featuring coved ceilings, picture rails, wood floors and rich mahogany trim. To the left, the living room is filled with natural light from a generous bay window, while the first bedroom features its own charming box bay window. To the right, the formal dining room makes a statement with wood-paneled walls, a beamed ceiling and stone fireplace with gas starter. Off the dining room is the second bedroom with a bay window, closet and built-in cabinet storage. The third bedroom, located off the kitchen, also features a bay window and closet. Between the two bedrooms is a wonderfully preserved 1950s vintage bathroom complete with louvered windows, pink vanity, pink tile, matching pink tub and period linoleum flooring. The kitchen offers light-brown wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, an electric range/oven, dishwasher and refrigerator. At the rear of the home are a convenient half bath and laundry area. One of the property's most exciting features is the 8+ foot-high basement, offering incredible possibilities. Imagine adding an interior staircase and potentially expanding the home's approximately 1,499 sq. ft. to nearly 2,500 sq. ft. of living space. Newer electrical, plumbing, foundation work, roof and shear wall improvements bring new meaning to the phrase "great bones."Outside, the backyard offers a lawn, concrete patio and detached garage ideal for storage—or perhaps a future ADU, subject to city approval. Rich in architectural character, filled with possibilities and set in an unbeatable location, this extraordinary home checks all the boxes. Notable upgrades: New furnace installed in 2019. Tear off and re-roof in 2021. 200amp electric upgrade in 2016. Dual pane vinyl windows installed 2002. Open House: Fri, Nov 6, 3-5pm Sat,Nov.7, 2-4 PM Sun,Nov.8, 2-4PM
