This charming 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home was thoughtfully and extensively renovated by its owner, a highly regarded architect, while preserving the character and craftsmanship of its 1927 origins. Offering approximately 2,400 square feet across three finished levels, the home combines classic architecture with modern living and features a welcoming 22’ x 8’ front porch, rear patio, beautifully landscaped yard, and detached two-car garage.

The main level features a newly renovated kitchen with a large island opening to a spacious dining area, a family room or main level office overlooking the garden and a living room with decorative brick fireplace.  The upper level offers a primary bedroom with a new ensuite bath, two additional bedrooms, and a renovated full bath.
