What Makes This Home Truly Special

Thoughtful Upscale Furnishings This isn’t just a rental—it’s a home with heart. The original 1917 solid oak floors throughout set the tone for timeless charm. Solid wood furnishings anchor each space, and you'll find every item—from the beds to the linens—chosen for quality and comfort. Each bedroom offers fresh pillows with protective covers, mattress covers, and two full sets of brand-new linens per room.

Handmade wool rugs grace multiple rooms, including the master bedroom. The office features a fold-out twin memory foam couch, a refinished hall table-turned-desk crafted by a local artisan, and a private, never-used ensuite bathroom with a workout mat and fresh weights. LED lighting throughout offers both softness and efficiency, and programmable bulbs allow you to create your desired ambiance.

In the master suite, the charm continues with a solid mahogany Chippendale chest from the 1930s, leather chairs, and a Samsung smart TV with crystal-clear viewing. The master bath upstairs offers heated floors—perfect for chilly mornings—plus a rain shower wand, fresh shampoo and conditioner, razors, toothbrushes, and an extra shower curtain provided for convenience.

Distinctive Bedroom Styling

The middle bedroom leans feminine with delicate touches. A large Chippendale mahogany dresser, antique writing desk and table, and curated period artifacts—including vintage match cases, eyeglasses, and small books from the late 1800s—make the space feel personal and special. All other furnishings are new, and like every room, it comes with fresh linens, pillows, sheets, and blankets.

The third bedroom offers a full-size bed, an antique dresser, all-new furnishings, and a handmade rug. It’s also thoughtfully stocked with a minimum of six fresh towels and brand-new bedding essentials.

Updated Main Level with Refined Touches The main level of the home has been carefully updated—every detail feels fresh and inviting. The chairs are of exceptional quality, complemented by thoughtfully selected wall fixtures and artwork that add character to the space. Brand-new blinds enhance comfort and privacy, with the final set scheduled for installation on July 22nd.

Entertainment is elevated with a Samsung Picture Smart TV, offering a vast collection of imagery (many free) to personalize your viewing experience or create ambiance. Two gorgeous wool rugs—both handmade—bring warmth and texture to the living area, further anchoring the sense of comfort and craftsmanship.

Elegant Dining for Gatherings The dining room features a solid walnut table—beautifully crafted and extendable for larger gatherings. All the oak crown molding is original 1917 craftsmanship, preserving the character and artistry of the home’s rich history—except in the kitchen, which has been updated for modern convenience. New sconces and carefully chosen artwork mirror the refined touches found in the living room, creating a sense of flow and cohesion throughout the space.

Laundry Convenience The GE washer and dryer are located in the basement and were professionally inspected just yesterday to confirm smooth operation. For added ease, detergent and dryer sheets are thoughtfully provided so guests can keep up with laundry without hassle.

Fully Equipped Kitchen for Real Living Whether you're cooking for one or for eight, the kitchen has everything you need: crock pot, food saver, toaster, toaster oven, Ninja blender, spices, foil, plastic wrap, and quality cookware. The appliances—all Samsung—include a French door refrigerator with beverage center, a convection/microwave combo oven with a separate full oven, and an ultra-quiet dishwasher.

Utilities & Services You Can Count On Enjoy peace of mind with all utilities included: gas, electric, water, high-speed internet, and Wi-Fi. Housekeeping is provided every 15 days, along with regular lawn maintenance to keep things pristine.

Outdoor Space to Unwind Stretch out on the spacious 504 sqft front patio, fully furnished for comfort and connection. A new Weber grill—with charcoal and lighter fluid provided—makes outdoor cooking a treat, and three bikes are available for your use on sunny days.

Location with Heart This friendly neighborhood encourages connection—people smile, wave, and take time to chat. You’re just minutes from Brookside shops and six minutes from the vibrant Plaza.

A Personal Note from the Homeowner Cleanliness is not just a promise—it’s a priority. I take great pride in maintaining a spotless, well-kept environment, and I care deeply about every detail. This home is exceptionally clean and cared for with a meticulous hand. I hope you'll appreciate the difference that thoughtful upkeep and genuine attention can make.
