The 1905 Victorian is reputed to be one of the earliest homes built in University Park. The house has maximum street appeal with its' asymmetrical façade, original fish scale shingles and diamond pane windows. The native, woodland landscaping and a traditional, covered, front porch greet you.

The back yard and all rooms on the main floor with the exception of the office/sunroom are wired with Bose speakers.

The open staircase on the main floor transports you to the second floor, where two bedrooms share a large updated bathroom.

An attic-level aerie - delightfully unique -has been finished as a third bedroom with an updated, ¾ bathroom, new carpet and fireplace but also makes a great art studio, home office or t.v. room.

The basement offers great storage and includes a laundry area and small workshop.
