About This Home

Don't let her stature fool you! This sweet Cape offers over 1600 sqft and three floors of living space with all the "nooks" and charm of a vintage craftsman. Step through the air-lock foyer into the large living room with a classic bookshelf-lined alcove and quintessential stone fireplace. Vintage hardwood floors lead you to the private, first-floor bedroom, adjacent to a convenient 1/2 bath. Upstairs, the enchantment continues in the two bedrooms, each with windowed dormers that provide a cozy reading corner or a Rapunzel-style neighborhood perch. The upstairs mini-rec-room is the ultimate in "niche-chic" and may end up being your favorite hiding space! The refreshed kitchen has solid surface countertops and a large south-facing window that brings in all the morning light. And don't underestimate the basement! This lowest-level hidden gem provides a large mudroom, a spacious laundry room with a vintage concrete utility sink, a fabulous, light-filled office that doubles as a guest space, an additional creative studio space, a wine cave, and more storage! Looking for outdoor spaces in the city setting.... we have them ALL! Elevated, south-facing deck for communing with the birds at sunrise. Landscaped patio with room for gardening, gathering, and gaming. And quick access to Strawberry Fields Park right through your backyard. Walk to the store, rollerskate to the coffee shop, bike to the playground. A rare find in the highly sought-after Belle Sherman neighborhood, this versatile and centrally located home offers the perfect blend of historic character and urban convenience.
