Located on the edge of the Russell Woods historic district, this 1925 Tudor style house features the steeply-pitched roofs, overlapping gables, and half-timbering representative of the time and style of its construction. Stepping onto the pine tree-shaded front porch and through the arched doorway, one enters the 1,600 square foot residence to find a historic tile fireplace framed by a dark wood mantle, sunlight coming through the windows on either side. The house contains 3 bedrooms and 1 and a half baths and features in-built shelving in some rooms as well as a screened-in back porch. The property’s location among other historic homes just east of Russell Woods and its proximity to Stewart Elementary School, Zussman Playground, and the M-10 and I-96 expressway enhances its appeal.
