First Time Offered in 40 Years | Timeless 1912 Brick Foursquare on Over 1/2 Acre Available for the first time in over 40 years, this stately all brick American Foursquare is a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of history. Situated on the corner of two city lots totaling over 1/2 acre, the property makes a striking first impression with lighted brick pillars marking each corner, mature trees, and commanding curb appeal. Inside, extraordinary original craftsmanship has been beautifully preserved, including gorgeous wood trim, coffered ceilings, original glass doorknobs, stunning Quezal lighting, and rich built-ins throughout. Expansive living and dining spaces center around a classic brick fireplace, while the enclosed front porch offers additional year round living space full of charm. The custom kitchen blends modern function with historic warmth, offering abundant cabinetry and workspace while complementing the home's timeless character. With 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, this home offers exceptional flexibility. The finished third floor features a private bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests, a private suite, or office. A separate maid's staircase, balcony off one bedroom, and finished basement recreation space add even more versatility and character. Outside, enjoy the fenced yard, deck, detached brick garage, and straight-through driveway access to the alley, a rare convenience for a historic home of this caliber. A once in a generation opportunity, this remarkable home offers over 2,500 sq ft of preserved architecture, warmth, and soul for the buyer who values timeless craftsmanship and history.
