Situated on the largest residential lot on the block at approximately 45' x 120', the property offers a rare combination of scale, outdoor space, and potential. The deep house is complemented by an oversized side and rear yard, along with an existing curb cut that adds flexibility for future use. Inside, the home retains an abundance of original character, including rich, deep-brown hardwood floors, substantial original moldings, generously sized bedrooms, and a beautiful central staircase.
