Impressive Crocker Highlands Colonial Revival home

Three plus bedrooms & two & one-half bathrooms

New eat-in kitchen with hardwood floor

Family room, office & park-like backyard
When you enter this beautiful Crocker Highlands Colonial Revival home, you’ll enjoy a relaxing ambiance and exquisite architectural detailing. The current owners, who are only the second owners, lovingly restored this home to preserve the classic charm of the 1920’s while incorporating the convenience of modern amenities. An inviting foyer introduces you to the graciousness of this lovely 3+ bedroom, 2+ bath home. The arches, intricate moldings, hardwood floors and high ceilings depict quality construction and integrity of design. You’ll enjoy entertaining guests in the spacious, light-filled living room with handsome fireplace, abundant wood windows, lovely moldings, built-in bookshelves and French doors that open to a terrace. The adjacent formal dining room has a second fireplace, an elegant built-in china cabinet, a view of the park-like backyard and direct access to the terrace. The recently constructed terrace offers a wonderful view of the yard with its majestic Oak tree; steps from the terrace lead to the yard.



A new kitchen with custom cabinets, stainless appliances and a white oak floor awaits discerning buyers who want a 21st century kitchen that feels like it belongs in a home built in 1921. A built-in banquette in the breakfast nook provides seating for informal dining and a splendid view of the backyard through a new dual pane casement window. There are three plus bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper level, including a master bedroom suite. The recently renovated lower level includes a family room, access to the backyard, a laundry room and a multi-purpose room for guests or hobbies.

The square footage of the house is 3042 according to an appraiser’s measurements. The Metroscan report says that the house has 2407 square feet. The square footage may not be accurate and will not be verified. A home warranty is included. This is a gem.
