3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 2599491 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status
Turn of the Century Beauty & Charm. This home, built in 1900, is a great example of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture, with a Victorian (or Queen Anne) influence. The most defining feature of this style is the gambrel roof which has two distinct slopes on either side - and Flared Eaves - where the roof slightly curves or flares outward at the bottom edge over the porch and windows. The first thing you notice as you approach this home is the stunning and picturesque setting of the street and surrounding neighborhood. Like a little time-traveling adventure into yesteryear, the mature trees, well-maintained vintage style homes on the block & surrounding streets will have you hearing tones of The Lemon Sisters and Glenn Miller. Original woodwork is still intact and in great condition as seen with the floors, trim, moldings, railings and banisters, while the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated for the modern buyers' needs. The back porch (enclosed) has original windows that open for summer breezes. Alley access to a 2-car carport and rustic old garage/shop for your vintage car, art studio or just puttering on projects. This home has been well maintained and is in great shape.
