It boasts substantial accommodation with a total of eight bedrooms, three bathrooms (one on each level), two laundry rooms, two fireplaces, a top-floor suite, and a bonus 860-square-foot unfinished attic accessible from the upper floor that could provide an additional living area. Built in 1920, the 105-year-old house is packed with original features with high ceilings, wood floors with beautiful inlaid accents, wainscot panels, sash windows, a Tiffany-style pendant ceiling lamp, and crown moulding. The rear yard is mainly laid to grass and bordered by a high stone wall, with a double garage and lane access.
