About this home

This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of history—a 1930s character home filled with timeless charm and endless potential. Situated on a desirable corner lot, this property offers unique features that are increasingly hard to find, including convenient alley access to a detached garage and a spacious outbuilding that, with the proper approvals, could be transformed into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU)—ideal for rental income, multi-generational living, or a private guest retreat. Set on a generously sized lot, the property boasts a pool, expansive outdoor space, and the kind of architectural character that invites creativity and personalization. Whether you envision restoring its vintage elegance or blending classic details with modern upgrades, this home is a canvas ready for your imagination. Inside, you’ll find a well-designed layout featuring a formal entry, an impressive dining room perfect for entertaining, and an open kitchen ready to be reimagined. The home includes two fireplaces that add warmth and ambiance, along with two HVAC systems for comfort and efficiency. Additional highlights include a dedicated laundry/service room and a basement, offering extra storage or potential for further use. While the home has benefited from recent exterior improvements—including a newer roof, updated fireplaces, and fresh exterior paint—the interior provides an exciting opportunity for customization and enhancements to truly make it your own. With its combination of historical character, functional features, and development potential, this property is a standout opportunity for homeowners, investors, or anyone looking to create something truly special. Come experience the charm, envision the possibilities, and make this unique home your own.
