Tucked gracefully on a spacious corner lot, this one-of-a-kind English brick home stands as a testament to timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship. Designed by renowned architect R.C. Oltmann and constructed in 1929, the residence showcases the elegance and architectural integrity of the era while seamlessly incorporating thoughtful updates that complement its historic charm. The 1.5-story layout is both distinctive and inviting, beginning with a breathtaking living room that immediately captures attention. Oversized windows flood the space with natural light and vivid color, highlighting the original hardwood floors and intricate custom wood trim. Vaulted, beamed ceilings soar overhead, while French doors and a custom-carved recessed fireplace complete the room with a sense of warmth and grandeur rarely found in modern homes. Every detail throughout the home reflects a deep appreciation for artistry and tradition. The formal dining room offers newer windows, custom trim work, and a graceful drop chandelier, blending elegance with comfort. The kitchen is a refined mix of form and function, featuring rich custom wood cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances, and a striking slate tile and glass backsplash that adds texture and depth. Two main-level bedrooms, one currently used as a den, provide flexibility for a variety of needs. The main floor bathroom retains its original tile, offering a nod to the home’s legacy while maintaining superb quality and charm. Upstairs, the entire second level is dedicated to a master suite retreat, complete with vaulted ceilings, newer windows, a ceiling fan, spacious walk-in closet, and a private full bath outfitted with subway tile and a double vanity for modern comfort. The full basement presents ample opportunity for expansion, featuring a large open recreation area, a laundry space, and a full ceramic-tiled bath with shower-ready to adapt to your personal vision. Outdoors, the professionally landscaped yard offers a true backyard oasis. A custom wrought iron fence provides structure while maintaining an open and welcoming feel. Brick paver patios invite relaxation and entertainment, with one area designed around a fire pit, perfect for evenings of bonfires, s’mores, and stargazing. A 2.5-car garage rounds out the property, offering both convenience and privacy. Rich in character and alive with possibility, this architectural gem is not just a home-it’s a piece of history waiting to be cherished. A truly rare opportunity that must be seen to be fully appreciated. See “Additional Info” Home Improvement List for all updates!
