Historic Tudor Revival with Timeless Charm and Modern Luxury Step back in time while enjoying every modern comfort in this stunning 1929 Prohibition-era Tudor home. Rich with architectural character, this brick and stucco residence features a classic slate roof, chimney pots, and a terra cotta tiled front porch, evoking the elegance of a bygone era. Upon entry, the inviting foyer opens to a large grand hallway which lends access to the formal living room and dining room, perfect for entertaining. Original hardwood floors, French doors, and vintage light fixtures flow throughout, preserving the home’s authentic charm. A thoughtfully designed updated kitchen blends historic character with contemporary convenience — featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a double wall oven, wine fridge, custom cherry cabinetry, and a generous center island. Enjoy morning coffee in the adjoining sunroom, bathed in natural light. Dual staircases lead to the second level, where original woodwork, glass doorknobs, and period details grace each of the four bedrooms. The primary suite offers a touch of luxury with its marble-tiled en suite bath, complete with gold-plated fixtures, whirlpool tub, and separate shower. A second full bath features a claw-foot tub, bidet, and brass fixtures, maintaining the home’s refined vintage aesthetic. The third level provides flexible space — ideal for a guest suite, home office, or studio — and includes a large cedar closet. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a family room with a wood-burning fireplace, half bath, and laundry room with a convenient laundry chute serving all three floors. Hidden behind an unassuming wooden door lies one of the home’s most remarkable features: a Prohibition-era speakeasy bar, complete with warm wood paneling, antique sconces, and a pass-through window to the family room with wood-burning fireplace — the perfect setting for intimate gatherings or themed parties. Outside, a hardscaped patio leads to a heated oversized two-stall garage offering additional attic and basement storage. Blending historic craftsmanship with modern updates, this one-of-a-kind Tudor residence is more than a home — it’s a living piece of history. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this extraordinary property!
