Built in 1923

Perched on East Oak Hill Avenue, this 1923 home has been lovingly restored and modernized while retaining beautiful woodwork with warm Oak and Heart Pine floors. Original wood sash windows with exterior storm windows provide ample light into main level living spaces with gracious 9' ceilings. A custom Oak front door welcomes you from the front porch to the living room with an energy efficient wood burning stove surrounded by the original brick fireplace. A large skylight over the hallway bathroom shower illuminates the playful wall tile from Spain and offers views to the sky above. The primary downstairs bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with a contemporary glass sink and large soaking tub under a solar tube skylight. Vintage wood kitchen cabinets were stripped and beeswaxed to showcase the grain and are complemented by modern stainless steel appliances including a gas range (with convection oven), dishwasher and refrigerator. A flexible space separated from the kitchen overlooks the back garden and has been used as a home office and third bedroom. Upstairs, a private bedroom spans the full width of the house with views to the front and back gardens, an operable skylight for passive ventilation, a wall hung mini-split unit for maximum thermal comfort, and a calming half bath with views of Sharp's Ridge. Mature trees, shrubs, perennials and a custom iron fence create several outdoor rooms for relaxation and parties. A detached Carriage House offers storage and workshop space. The freshly painted exterior matches the main house; two skylights provide natural light. Portions of the original wood floor need repairs or could be replaced with a concrete slab for parking. Other amenities include underground electrical service to the house and an encapsulated crawl space with a dedicated dehumidifier. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems were replaced in 2012 and have been regularly maintained. A 50-year Presidential asphalt shingle roof, half round gutters and round downspouts were installed in 2015. The sewer line from house to street and the downstairs ensuite toilet were replaced in 2024.
