About this home
Classic 1940s Brick Colonial Full of Charm and Character:
Step into this classic 1940s brick colonial that blends timeless character with opportunity. From the solid brick exterior to the original hardwood floors and striking built-ins, this home is filled with the kind of craftsmanship you rarely see today.
Inside, you'll find a thoughtful layout featuring a spacious living room, formal dining room, and a cozy eat-in kitchen. The kitchen showcases a vintage cast iron farmhouse sink that spans the length of the counter a statement piece that just needs a bit of restoration to shine again.
The home includes a large welcoming front porch, two bedrooms on the main level, offering the flexibility of a first-floor primary or guest space, plus a unique upstairs layout with a bonus room, cedar closet, and an additional room that could be a cozy bedroom, office, or master retreat. The upstairs layout flows well for someone looking to create a suite or a tucked-away workspace.
Original leaded glass windows are a standout feature, with beautiful detailing that adds to the character. While they are older and may need updating over time, preserving their historic design would be a rare and rewarding opportunity.
There is a newer 2025 boiler system for heating, and wood floors run throughout the home. A private driveway leads to a detached two-car garage
This is a home for buyers who appreciate history, architecture, and the chance to restore a property with great bones. Some cosmetic updates will be needed and financing may be limited to conventional or renovation loans.
