Although built in 1948, the property demonstrates high pride of ownership and is move-in ready. The interior features well-maintained hardwood floors and updated windows, while the exterior boasts newer carriage-house doors and a bluestone patio.

The unique dedicated art gallery with a carriage-house roll-up door provides a flexible footprint for a home studio, office, or gym, catering to modern lifestyle needs.
The property features professionally curated botanical gardens, a bluestone patio, and a seasonal creek, creating a rare and private sanctuary in an urban setting.
Built in 1948, the home may require more frequent maintenance or updates to its original systems compared to newer residential constructions.
