Set high on one of the neighborhood's historic bluffs, this impressive 1908 American Four Square offers approximately 3,744 square feet of living space and is being offered together with an adjacent separately PIN'd 0.23-acre vacant parcel, creating approximately 0.73 acre of combined land. Designed by noted architect C.W. Webster, the home is filled with architectural character, including beautiful hardwood floors, generous room sizes, built-ins, a grand foyer, library, walk-in pantry and expansive veranda.
