Property Description

Welcome to “The Craftman’s Home” that sits right on the Avenue! Only craftsmen or artisans were allowed to apply their labor of love into the soul of this home. The builder of the home focuses his time exclusively on a full custom reno per year in which he manages each and every aspect of the build as if it were his own home. Such time and consideration for the appreciation of wood detail is the lasting impression when you visit this home.

Unique in the modern day of rehabbing, all of the window jambs and interior doors were constructed with solid wood. This home exhibits original characteristics while combining modern practicality and high-quality finishes. The open floor plan on the first floor allows one to entertain and prepare the best meals in the chef’s kitchen. Custom solid wood cabinets that are made locally complement the professional appliances which coordinate with Quartz countertops. The original “heart pine” floors have been meticulously refinished to exhibit the natural beauty of this extinct wood. Hundreds of man hours were spent on repairing, saving, and refinishing the original wood floors. One of kind features like custom sliding doors that used reclaimed from original boards and built-in shelving make this home a special find. Other notable details worth mentioning is the wainscoting in the living room and all of the exposed brick walls married with the custom metal railings. Some cool modern conveniences include a "touch" kitchen faucet, dimmers in every room, and a Bluetooth speaker in the bath fan. The Jack and Jill bath displays a modern freestanding tub, frameless glass shower, and hand painted floor tile that complements the era of the home. In addition, the wood beam in the hallway was saved and restored to provide glimpse into the over a century old constructed historic home. This home was built to last into the next century. Nestled on block that is in great proximity to your favorite eateries, taverns, and retailers. Come visit this property to really appreciate all that could be your dream home.
