A 1909 Endion original with 21st-century bones. Over $70,000 has gone into the systems you'll never see. A $40,000 electrical overhaul stripped out generations of knob-and-tube and patchwork wiring, rewired house and garage to current code, and added new breaker panels with room to expand, hardwired interconnected smoke and CO detection, efficient lighting, added outlets, and motion-activated closet and exterior security lighting. $30,000 in plumbing brought a high-efficiency Navien combination boiler for on-demand heat and hot water, plus a new sump system. Mitsubishi mini-splits deliver cooling and backup heat on every floor. Every appliance is under two years old. The drainage is solved, not patched. The original 1909 clay discharge tile had failed and was allowing seepage. The sump line was re-trenched diagonally across the front lot, the adjacent window well rebuilt, and the basement floor epoxy-sealed. The result: a dry, full-footprint stone lower level with storage, laundry, three-quarter bath, and workshop. All of that protects the character. The main floor was repainted this spring in a period-correct Arts and Crafts palette. Quarter sawn oak floors run through the foyer, living, and dining rooms. A Vermont Castings wood-burning stove sits beneath a hearth of locally sourced tile and a custom oak mantle. The kitchen pairs a Wolf range with quartz counters, a Van Gogh-inspired backsplash, and vented hood. Five bedrooms, three floors, a bathroom on every level. Four bedrooms up - one with its own fireplace - off a generous landing. The entire third floor is a private primary suite: a newly added full bath with in-floor radiant heat, new cork floors, and dedicated office space. Ideal for remote work or a guest retreat. Double lot, 0.34 acres, fenced backyard, mature maples, oaks, and fir. Eastern Endion on the Congdon border - quiet sidewalks, an easy walk to Ordean Middle School and Longview Tennis Courts, five minutes to Mount Royal, East High School, and Northland Country Club, and close to the Lakewalk, downtown, and both hospitals. Old-world soul, 21st-century infrastructure, and the hard work already done.
