Inside the home
This is a 1920s Georgian brick home with genuine architectural character — barrel-vaulted ceilings, arched windows, original curved staircase, and multiple fireplaces across three full floors. The kitchen has been significantly upgraded with a commercial-grade 6-burner range, pot filler, butcher block island, and subway tile, and it flows directly into a formal dining room. The trade-off is a house that mixes high-end updates with rooms that still need attention. The living room has carpet, the detached garage needs new doors, and with five bedrooms there is only one full bathroom. Upper floors rely on portable and wall-mounted AC units. The rear yard is a real asset: a large pergola deck, a mature fish pond with waterfall, and a short walk to a park with tennis courts and a splash pad.
