Have you been dreaming of finding an architectural gem yet untouched by a stranger’s vision? This 1907 Brown shingled Edwardian home has been beloved and maintained in all its glory by the same family for over half a century. The home still features all of its original gleaming wood details, and beautiful, enormous windows that wash every room with natural light. The spacious living and dining rooms are stunning, with graceful coved ceilings and a large pocket door, allowing separation of the rooms if desired. The cozy window seat looking out to the verdant side yard and warm built-ins are sure to make the dining room your favorite spot. No ugly, dated, incongruous “updates” to rip out; the kitchen and bath are clean and functional blank slates, while the living spaces and bedrooms are simply gorgeous to behold as-is. Newly refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout welcome you to move right in and let the soul and architecture inspire future renovations. Lovely fenced side yard and garden for outdoor enjoyment, and a detached storage/workshop/studio offers desirable bonus space. Bushrod Park is just 3 blocks away; offering open green space, sports courts and a playground for the kiddos, and the array of dining choices and amenities within minutes are sure to delight.
