About this home
Historical Charm Meets Modern Comfort in the Heart of Queen Village

This historic home is a one-of-a-kind property that blends original character with practical upgrades for today’s lifestyle.
Hardwood floors and exposed brick flow throughout the home, complemented by an abundance of natural light in every season.

Just beyond, a dedicated dining area opens to a fully equipped kitchen with generous cabinet storage, built-in cabinet lighting, and stylish pendant lights. The first-floor powder room adds to the home’s functionality.
Upstairs, the second level hosts a spacious primary bedroom and a beautifully appointed full bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. A second large bedroom with a laundry closet completes this floor. On the third level, you'll find an additional large bedroom and a versatile bonus room—ideal as an office, den, or fourth bedroom—with access to a fabulous deck, perfect for entertaining or enjoying your morning coffee in the sun.
The finished basement adds flexible living space along with a second half bath—perfect for a media room, gym, or guest space. Enjoy the benefits of a corner property with multiple access points that make city living more convenient.
