Step through a leaded-glass front door into a 1920 original where rich, dark-stained oak trim frames every doorway, runs as wainscoting throughout, and stacks into a coffered box-beam ceiling overhead. The living room centers on a dramatic river rock fireplace with concrete mantel, an original stained-glass window, and a built-in bench nook. Hardwood floors carry into a formal dining room with a second box-beam ceiling and a period leaded-glass built-in hutch. The kitchen blends in thoughtfully: white shaker cabinets, marble subway tile, and stainless appliances alongside an exposed brick chimney and farmhouse sink. Main level offers 2 bedrooms plus a flex room for an office or playroom; upstairs, 3 more bedrooms share a full bath. Rare intact 1920s character — original woodwork, stained glass, architectural detail — paired with updates for easy everyday living. From the moment you walk in, it feels like home.
