This c. 1910 residence offers a study in early 20th-century domestic scale. Sited on a substantial 0.39-acre parcel (spanning nearly 2.5 standard lots), the home retains the generous spatial volume of its era, featuring four bedrooms capable of accommodating large furniture—a spatial luxury often missing in later bungalows.
The interior is defined by preserved millwork and specific tactile details often stripped from renovated properties, including multiple stained glass panels and an original manual mechanical twist doorbell. The connection between the living and dining rooms is managed by a broad cased opening, preserving the sightlines and air circulation intended by the original builders.
For the systems historian, the home retains the heavy registers of its original radiant heat system, serving as architectural sculpture even as the main floor has been updated to forced air. It is important to note that the second floor currently lacks active climate control, presenting a clear project for the next steward to integrate modern comfort while respecting the building envelope. Offered “as-is,” this is a canvas for those who appreciate the artifact as much as the accommodation.
