This historic home is a one-of-a-kind property that blends original character with practical upgrades for today’s lifestyle.
Hardwood floors and exposed brick flow throughout the home, complemented by an abundance of natural light in every season.

The first-floor powder room adds to the home’s functionality.
Upstairs, the second level hosts a spacious primary bedroom and a beautifully appointed full bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. A second large bedroom with a laundry closet completes this floor. On the third level, you'll find an additional large bedroom and a versatile bonus room—ideal as an office, den, or fourth bedroom—with access to a fabulous deck, perfect for entertaining or enjoying your morning coffee in the sun.
The finished basement adds flexible living space along with a second half bath—perfect for a media room, gym, or guest space. Enjoy the benefits of a corner property with multiple access points that make city living more convenient.
