Description

Welcome to 297 Downing St — a storybook 1920s home where timeless craftsmanship meets modern comfort. With 1,635 sq ft of beautifully maintained character, this residence offers the kind of warmth, detail, and charm buyers dream of but rarely find. Step inside and fall in love with the original woodwork, restored hardwood floors, and the inviting flow of a home designed for both everyday living and memorable gatherings. The flexible 4-bedroom layout includes a convenient first-floor bedroom, while an upstairs bedroom features its own private balcony overlooking the freshly redesigned backyard — complete with new vinyl railing for safety, style, and serene views. The front porch is pure nostalgia, offering the perfect backdrop for slow summer evenings, morning coffee rituals, and quiet moments of relaxation. Outside, the fully fenced corner lot is framed by a classic white picket fence and complemented by a detached garage — a rare combination of privacy, curb appeal, and practicality. Inside, enjoy a formal dining room highlighted by original stained-glass windows, a first-floor half bath for convenience, and a full bath on the second floor. The full basement provides excellent storage along with updated mechanics and central air, giving you peace of mind from day one. If you’ve been searching for a home with character, charm, and thoughtful updates — this is the one that checks every box. Offers will be reviewed as they are received, seller reserve the right to set an offer deadline
