The front yard blooms with established plantings needing only seasonal TLC to be the showpiece of the block - including a unique 4-in-1 fruit tree (2 peach, nectarine & plum grafted in one!), a pear tree, blueberry bushes & a pomegranate.The main level greets you with refinished hardwood floors, original wood panel doors & character-rich trim - the proud tradition of Arts & Crafts design.
