From its arched architectural details to its light-filled sunroom and classic hardwood floors, the home carries a timeless character that blends seamlessly with a full, modern renovation—creating a space that simply functions the way it should.

Inside, original hardwood floors extend throughout the home, connecting each space with warmth and continuity. The living room is spacious and anchored by a decorative brick fireplace with a preserved original mantle, honoring the home’s historic character while maintaining a clean, updated feel.
