This retro-modern charmer is the time-traveling dream home you didn’t know you needed
Step into the past while enjoying all the comforts of the present at 252 Park St., a home that’s been aging like fine wine since 1948. Nestled on the corner of Park and Helen, this architectural gem has embraced every design era, making it the ultimate haven for a retro-modern aficionado.
The double-wide interlocking paver driveway sets the stage for what’s to come—character, charm, and plenty of space. Enter through the mudroom (because let’s be real, every great home needs one), and take in the open-concept family room and eat-in kitchen. This working kitchen means business, with hardwood cabinetry, granite countertops, a serving island, and enough seating for a dinner party of eight—because why not? Bonus: a pantry with backyard access for those midnight snack runs.
Upstairs, custom built-ins line the hallway leading to a spa-like ensuite with an oversized glass shower and double windows. The primary suite boasts high ceilings, a bay window, and southern views, while the original upper level keeps it classic with three huge bedrooms, a playroom/den, and a charming main bath (renovated in ’08).
The original hardwood staircase takes you back down to the main level, where French doors open to a vestibule entrance. To the left, the sunlit living room features a wood-burning fireplace, and across the hall, the dining room impresses with a bay window, built-in china cabinets, and wiring for wall sconces (because ambiance is everything). An office and a two-piece bath complete the main level.
But wait, there’s more! The basement features a sprawling rec room with a sink and appliances (hello, bonus kitchenette!), a den, a three-piece bathroom, and a walk-up to the side yard. Plus, there’s storage, laundry, and enough space to turn this level into whatever your heart desires.
Too many incredible features to list—so don’t just read about it, book a visit! You’ll regret missing out on this one.
