12 Pearl Street

This yellow brick century home in the East Ward has been updated where it counts. The kitchen is fully redone — white shaker cabinets, dark granite counters, subway tile to the ceiling, stainless appliances, and a black-and-white octagonal tile floor. A newer main-floor 3-piece bath doubles as the laundry room, which is a practical layout choice in a house this age. The living and dining rooms are clean and freshly painted, with grey laminate replacing what were likely original floors. The original staircase and foyer tile were kept, and they work well. Upstairs, the bathroom has a new vanity and sink but still has older tub surround tile — a partial job. The basement is unfinished stone foundation — usable for storage, nothing more. Out back, the fenced yard is well-established with a deck under a pergola, a separate patio with gazebo, mature plantings, and a workshop with hydro.
