Inside, the warmth of rich wood millwork welcomes you & draws your eye to the high ceilings

Nestled on one of the most desirable blocks in Old North, this gracious, century home, circa 1915, exudes a timeless beauty & a nurturing energy. Step onto the lovely covered front porch and feel transported to a time and place where life moves a little slower, where neighbours stop to chat out front & wave as they pass by. Inside, the warmth of rich wood millwork welcomes you and draws your eye to the high ceilings, crown moulding & period details like the leaded glass windows, high baseboards & the old, coal fireplace adorned w/ 3 wood-inlay murals. The oak hardwood has been privy to a century’s worth of stories. Two sets of French doors draw you from the impressive foyer through the living room & then the dining room adjacent to a bright, sunlit kitchen wrapped in crisp, white cabinetry & huge windows overlooking the enchanting perennial gardens & lush trees.
