Some homes survive a century.This one lived it.Built in 1918 and cared for like something worth keeping, this grand old home sits back from the street with the quiet confidence of a place that has seen generations come and go. The front porch isn't a feature. It's a front-row seat. Morning coffee. A good book. A wave to the neighbors. The simple rituals that somehow matter more every year.Step through the formal entry and you're immediately reminded that craftsmanship never really goes out of style. Rich oak floors. Original picture moldings. A fireplace mantel that has witnessed a thousand conversations. The kind of details builders used to create before efficiency became the goal.The kitchen knows exactly what it is. Recently remodeled, thoughtfully designed, and refreshingly free of trends that will look tired in five years. Ample cabinetry, newer appliances, a classic farm sink, and room for the kind of meals that turn into stories.Out back, the pace slows even further. Slide open the door and disappear into a private sanctuary complete with a recently installed sauna-because sometimes the best luxury is simply exhaling.Modern updates arrive where they matter most. New primary and secondary bathrooms. A fourth bedroom and a third bath on the lower level. Some newer double-pane windows placed where they're needed most. And for those who create as much as they relax, a custom-built sound studio was added during the renovation-purpose-built added to one side of the garage for bringing ideas to life long after the rest of the house has gone quiet.Improvements made not to change the home's character, but to help it keep being itself for another hundred years.Some houses are new.Some houses are interesting.Very few have earned both their age and their future.This one has.NEW ** OFFERS TO BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 6/29/2026 AT 5PM WITH DEADLINE TO RESPOND BY THE SELLERS TO BE 12PM 6/30/2026 [Home Energy Score = 2.
