List price: $595,000
Year built: 1920
Real estate agent: Ken Maher with Monument Sotheby’s International Realty
Last sold price/date: N/A; this is the first time this home has been on the market.
Property size: 2,165-squarefoot home has five bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half-bathroom, with two parking spaces, and a separate lot with a storage shed.
Unique features: This charming, all-brick town house has been in the same family since it was built, and it is the first time in a century that it has been on the market. This semi-detached home abounds with period details, such as the multiple dormers overlooking the street.
The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, and double French doors that open to a brick patio large enough for warm-weather dining, family card games, and cocktails with neighbors. A sunroom opening off the dining room with windows on two sides will allow the new owners to enjoy the outdoors while remaining comfortably inside.
The wood flooring on the first floor is new, while the third floor contains Georgia pine.
The kitchen flows into the dining room. It has an exposed brick wall with open shelving that adds warmth and character to the home and opens to the backyard. It includes a breakfast bar, a range hood and smart, stainless steel refrigerator.
An upstairs bedroom has French doors leading to a Juliet balcony, while the basement features a separate workshop.
Mechanical systems include two sump pumps, and a newer boiler and washer and dryer. The basement also exits to the backyard.
This home sits on top of a hill and the dramatically sloped front yard presents a
blank canvas for a creative gardener. The property is larger than it appears and
incorporates the triangular lot across the alley with a storage shed.
