About 1453 Bresee Avenue

Built in 1927, this stunning home is full of original character with the kind of layout and flow that still works beautifully today. Gorgeous woodwork, period built-ins, and architectural details give the home warmth and personality, while the light-drenched interiors make every room feel bright and welcoming. The roomy kitchen has space to cook, hang out, and gather with friends, and the formal dining room features original built-ins that add charm and smart storage perfect for dinner parties, game nights, or showing off favorite pieces. The woodwork carries throughout the home, creating a cohesive, timeless feel that's hard to find in newer construction. A detached two-car garage is topped by a versatile office space ideal for remote work, a creative studio, fitness area, or guest overflow. With no shared walls, the home lives like a single-family residence while offering the legal designation of a condo. With only one other unit in this two-unit association, you'll enjoy added privacy along with the space and flexibility you want often at a more approachable price point than comparable single-family homes.
