This property has the tradition and classic beauty of a two-story brick colonial home. With its columned portico, brick walkways, and mature landscaping, this 3,500-square-foot home has remarkable curb appeal.
“I have ridden past this house nearly every day for most of my life and I have always admired it. It is just so stately and tasteful architecturally,” says Listing Agent, Chuck Mangold, Jr. “The generous size of the lot, within walking distance to downtown is so aberrant, I can only think of a handful of homes that do that. It is just a very special place.”
Enter the center hall foyer with its lovely pre-war period details, hardwood floors, and architectural staircase, and you’ll find the home’s formal living room to the right. This room is large and light-filled with a charming Federal-style fireplace with brick surround, and access to bright and cheery sunroom with plenty of room for reading, card playing, and contemplating while taking in the morning sun.
To the left of the entry there’s a pretty sitting room with gorgeous, glass-front built-ins alongside another wood-burning fireplace. All these rooms have exceptional glass-panel French doors with grills in the Old World style. A charming side porch can be accessed through a single glass door in the sitting room.
The entry hall leads back to a beautiful formal dining room with large windows, chandelier, and a butler’s door that provides access to the kitchen. This room retains much of its original wood cabinetry but has been updated with modern stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops. A nearby powder room retains the charm of its original vanity and medicine cabinet.
This first floor of this home was upgraded to include a beautiful outdoor dining and gathering space outfitted with a ceiling of rich knotty pine and pretty slate floors.
The upstairs is bright, cheery, and ready for guests with its two bedrooms that share access to a full bath, a flex space perfect for your morning work-out, and a roomy primary suite with an exquisitely tiled bathroom. It features a large, modern glass shower, a heritage-style vanity topped with marble, and the home’s vintage medicine cabinet for the perfect blend of old and new.
In addition to all the outdoor living spaces mentioned above, this property provides the added advantage of a large backyard with a firepit that is framed by a brick half-wall offering exceptional privacy and convenience for families with pets.
“I felt this home had some very similar features to the house I grew up in back in Germany, especially when I walked into the sunroom, it really felt like home,” says Buyers’ Agent, Cornelia Heckenbach.
