About 263 Ne 1st Street
Step back in time, dear sirs and madams, and behold this most enchanting Craftsman abode, circa 1920, offering a veritable glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Herein, one shall find real wood floors beneath one’s feet, with splendid tongue and groove paneling adorning the walls, complemented by an elegant chair rail—a testament to the refined tastes of the early twentieth century.
The living and dining quarters are graced with most distinguished coffered ceilings, lending a sense of grandeur and nobility to every gathering. In the main living room, a stately brick fireplace beckons, its wood-burning hearth promising warmth and comfort upon wintry eves; as well a solid wood mantle for the stockings.
The windows, resplendent with their original paned glass, allow light to dance upon the built-in buffet of solid wood—a marvel of craftsmanship featuring glass doors, drawers, and cabinets for all manner of curiosities and fine wares.
The culinary quarters, set at the rear of the dwelling, are discreetly separate, thus preserving the sanctity of entertaining spaces. A practical utility room—complete with washer and dryer—stands ready to serve the industrious homemaker.
The bedchambers themselves - high ceilings and capacious closets, each surmounted by a most thoughtful addition of lighted storage. The home includes a full bath, complete with a tub and shower combination, and a most convenient half bath.
Alas, one cannot but remark upon the splendor of the lifetime copper metal roof—a crown most fitting for such a fine residence. The exterior is clad in durable vinyl siding, whilst a grand front porch, extending a full 48 feet by 10 feet in breadth, invites one to tarry and take the air.
The grounds, fully enclosed by a chain link fence, are most ample, just shy of half an acre, and feature charming pavers and gravel, lending a singular air to one’s outdoor pursuits. Truly, this home is a rare gem—an opportunity to own a piece of history and bask in the timeless elegance of the past.
