Property Description
Perfectly situated on a wide lot, this 26-foot wide stately residence blends the charm of a bygone era with thoughtful modern updates. Originally built in 1940 as a fully detached home, it still retains the feel of a single-family residence with over 2,400 square feet of exquisitely finished living space—plus an additional 780 square feet of storage or future expansion potential.
From the moment you enter the spacious foyer, you're welcomed by a sense of scale and refinement rare in today's market. The expansive floor plan easily accommodates full-sized furnishings, while vintage touches like the original 1940s staircase post blend seamlessly with high-end renovations completed in 2016 and beyond.
Key Features:
Three generous bedrooms and 2.5 designer baths, including two primary suites, one with a soaring vaulted ceiling and spa-like ensuite bath.
