Inside the home
This is a solid older brick home that has been genuinely maintained and selectively updated — not just cosmetically refreshed for sale. The original hardwood floors with inlaid borders and the decorative plaster ceiling medallion in the dining room are the kind of details that don't exist in newer construction and can't easily be replicated. The kitchen has been modernized with stone counters, subway tile, and stainless appliances. The upstairs bathroom was recently redone with current fixtures. The basement laundry room is a real surprise — fully custom with shaker cabinetry, patterned tile, and a utility sink that looks better than most kitchens. Mechanically, the big-ticket items have been addressed: steel roof, updated windows, furnace, AC, and insulation. The deck needs some attention, and the main floor powder room is basic, but the overall picture is a character home that's been taken care of.
