Built in 1910 and nestled in the highly-desirable West End, this 3,100 finished square foot brick residence is overflowing with Old World charm. This is not your average home. It boasts five generously sized bedrooms and 1.5 baths, including an upgraded full bath on the second floor.

The elegant dining room is highlighted by a stunning coffered ceiling. Imagine the beauty you'll uncover beneath the carpets on the first and second floors-the original hardwood floors with gorgeous inlay designs are waiting to be restored. Further preserving its heritage, the home features stately wood banisters and railings, a unique double stairway, and a beautiful stained glass window. Practical updates have been seamlessly blended with the home's charm, including replacement windows throughout and a modern 200 amp electrical panel. The partially finished basement offers additional flexible living space. Enjoy the outdoors on the charming covered front and back porches. A detached two-car garage provides convenient parking. This irreplaceable gem offers an exceptional opportunity to own a unique piece of West End heritage. Don't miss the chance to start your next chapter in this historic home!
