Inside the home
This is a 1920 Georgian brick home that has been lived in carefully, with one major renovation — the kitchen — done to a genuinely high standard. White shaker cabinets, a six-burner double oven range with pot filler, farmhouse sink, butcher block island, and a wine fridge make it a working kitchen, not a showpiece. The rest of the main floor is original millwork, radiators, and wide plank hardwood that has held up well over a century. Five bedrooms spread across three floors gives the house real flexibility. The primary bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace and connects to the updated full bathroom. The third floor attic rooms work for guests, kids, or a hobby space. The backyard has more going on than most — a koi pond with waterfall, a large pergola deck, gas BBQ hookup, and a detached double garage. The deck boards and garage doors are the two items that need near-term attention.
