Property Description
Framed from the street by a mature ginkgo, this stately circa 1906 Brown Shingle reflects the enduring character of Elmwood architecture, thoughtfully composed for both form and function. A gracious entry unfolds into light-filled living and dining rooms, where period details and refined proportions create a sense of quiet elegance. The kitchen is both practical and inviting, offering well-considered workspace and an intimate setting for everyday moments. At the rear, a garden-facing family room rises to a lofty, skylit ceiling, drawing in natural light and creating an airy connection to the outdoors. Doors open to a landscaped garden with brick patio, fruit trees, and established plantings-an environment that feels both cultivated and relaxed, with fertile soil suited to gardening or outdoor dining. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide flexibility, including one with an adjoining sunroom-a luminous, adaptable space suited for reading, work, or reflection. Throughout, original architectural elements are preserved and complemented by thoughtful updates, resulting in a home that feels both timeless and comfortably lived in. Ideally located in the heart of Elmwood, just moments to neighborhood cafés, shops, and everyday conveniences. Walk Score 94 BESO: 3
