Description

Forty-four years in one home is rare. It means a house has been more than a place to live-it's been the backdrop to birthdays, holidays, quiet mornings, and everyday routines that turned into memories without anyone noticing at the time. That's the story this home carries. The garden reflects it best. The current owner calls it a personal park, and after four decades of tending it, that's exactly what it's become-peaceful, green, and entirely their own. Two orange trees still produce enough fruit most mornings for fresh-squeezed juice, a small ritual that says a lot about a life well lived here. The house itself has only had two owners in over a century, and that kind of care shows. Built in 1909, it still holds its original leaded glass and casement windows, hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and wood trim. A sweeping front porch welcomes you before you've even reached the door. Inside, the living room centers on its original mantel and fireplace, tucked into an inglenook with built-in bookcases on either side. It's a room that comes alive over the holidays-the kind of space families gather in year after year. The kitchen, updated for today's living, is expansive and made for real cooking, with a breakfast nook and French doors that open straight onto the deck and garden, keeping everyone close no matter where they end up. Outside, the grounds continue that same sense of ease. Low-water landscaping keeps things simple to maintain, a jacuzzi offers a place to unwind, and a long driveway gives the whole property room to breathe. Even the practical spaces have thoughtful touch
