Some houses check boxes. This one tells a story.
From the street, the curb appeal stops you: a classic Dutch Colonial with an arched pediment entry, leaded glass fanlight, and a deep burgundy door flanked by columns. It's the kind of front door that makes you want to know what's inside.
Step through and the original details keep coming: rich hardwood floors, a carved open staircase, and a graceful arched mahogany cased opening leading to the formal dining room where a stunning city skyline view sets the scene, especially after dark. The living room anchors the main floor with a slate-tiled fireplace insert, chandelier, and the kind of warmth that feels settled-in rather than staged.
Lofty ceilings carry throughout every room in the home , a detail that's increasingly rare and immediately felt the moment you walk in.
The kitchen surprises you in the best way: checkerboard tile floors, white subway tile, a gas range, marble counters, and peninsula seating that invites lingering. Practical and full of personality at the same time.
The flexible floor plan offers three bedrooms upstairs each with generous closets plus a first-floor den that works equally well as a fourth bedroom, home office, or guest room, backed by a full bath on the same level. A newly installed natural gas heating system keeps things efficient year-round offering one less thing to think about.
Downstairs, the lower level continues to impress with exposed original beams, a finished hangout space with leather seating and an electric stove insert, and plenty of room for storage, hobbies, or whatever you need it to be.
Outside, the corner lot gives you room to breathe, and come spring, the mature trees fill in to create a natural canopy creating a private outdoor living room that's hard to leave. The freshly paved driveway (2023, sealed 2025) and one-car attached garage round out the practical side.
This home has real character and is worth seeing in person.
