Public Spaces

The front hallway opens into a bright, comfortable living room, anchored and warmed by an original stone fireplace. Tucked behind is a period kitchen featuring gracious warm wood cabinetry and soft pops of original color. A sunny, separate breakfast area looks out to the garden. The light-filled dining room opens via sliding glass door to a vibrant sheltered patio, encircled by original low-slung built-in brick planters, offering opportunity for safe, comfortable year-round entertaining.

Private Spaces

Three light-filled bedrooms, well-preserved with original mahogany woodwork, inhabit the main level. Higher-set corner windows reveal expansive views to the outdoors while maintaining privacy within. An inviting blush-colored family bathroom features original tilework and ample storage behind original wood cabinetry.

Flex and Outdoor Spaces

Set against a mature front yard, a gracious driveway leads into the double-car garage. Original mid-century cabinets, workbench and north-facing window lend the space a comfortable atmosphere for rambling projects or storage. 

Beyond the window, an original hard-plumbed greenhouse welcomes potential for a victory garden or semi-enclosed entertaining. A fully-fenced backyard nurtures mature roses, pollinator-friendly butterfly bushes, and a shade yard perfect for late-summer lounging. 

Downstairs, an expansive lower level offers endless opportunity for entertaining, storage, or creative work. A vintage den hosts a curved bar resting opposite a brick fireplace. Nestled between, an inviting and intimate lounge area anchored by period cabinetry. A generous all-purpose space connects to a ¾ bathroom, laundry and dedicated storage area. 

a poem:

Let’s open the door 

sit bay window arms of destination

we are made with doors in our hands

born holding a serene vase 

we thread breath in each other

all homes have arms, this one has legs

some houses stand on their hands, asking what to do

this stands on its legs asking join

it wants chalk pink flowers, Bonsai shrubs

It’s a place you live with all your heart

a home who caught the bouquet

a home of gumption and devotion

It’s a place to invite friends

blow wishes to the floaty seeds that flow the air

dig your heart of thumbs to plants

a place to grow closer,

we all seek to be loved

bonsai, birdly and in creation

the purpose of this place is primarily contemplation of happiness

It says playful things about how birds dance and memorize

Lets now talk strings,

where feet, kites, hope

and open arms belong

kites limbs lift in the yard

a soul is sought and found 

a bay window

loops a glad we are here song

a place to say hello from

to a round and loving world

the porch is like being handed a flower

curled in nest harp welcome calm
