Description
With a commanding presence and a warmth that draws you in, this 1913 Craftsman sits on a sunlit southeast-facing double lot. Its striking stonework, private verandah, oak floors, built-ins and three wood-burning fireplaces speak to enduring character. The main home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a detached carriage house with a bedroom and bathroom, separate entrance, parking and fenced yard. The Urbana-designed kitchen pairs Columbia cabinetry and granite counters with a singular Italian onyx backsplash and Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. Updates include permitted electrical work in 2023, on-demand hot water in 2021, heated kitchen and powder-room floors, and fresh exterior paint in 2025. Unfinished basement rooms offer flex space and plumbing roughed in for a kitchen and two bathrooms. The original occupants were William and Victoria Gleason; William was a carpenter, builder, architect and Victoria alderman. "Bonita", a Fernwood icon, ready to welcome its next chapter.
