Property Description

They don’t make them like this anymore… and honestly, they don’t. Step up to 23 Martinot Ave and you’ll feel it before you even walk in—the kind of character you can’t recreate. The sizable front porch, finished with new Trex decking, sets the tone for slow mornings and summer nights. Inside, the tiled entry welcomes you, and just beyond it—original leaded glass detailing that steals the show. The living space unfolds with original hardwood floors, rich woodwork, and solid hardwood doors carry throughout, giving every room that warm, grounded presence that only a 1920’s colonial can deliver. The kitchen stays true to the Craftsmanship era with glass-front cabinetry, a porcelain sink, gas stove with split oven, and a butcher block-topped dishwasher that ties it all together with just the right touch of function and style. Upstairs, three bedrooms—each with their own closet (rare for this era and we’re calling it out)—plus a linen closet for extra storage. The full bath keeps the vintage charm alive with a classic soaking tub moment. Downstairs, the full basement is clean and ready with an epoxy floor, glass block windows, sump pump, and even a second toilet—whether you keep it as-is or take advantage of the potential to fully finish it off. And don’t forget the full attic—another opportunity waiting to happen. Outside, you’ve got a partially fenced yard, a detached one-car garage, and a shed—for all the extras without sacrificing simplicity. Behind the scenes, the big stuff is already handled: metal roof (2018), newer furnace (2023), updated water line to the street (2019), gutters (2021), and more. This is the kind of home that blends original character with just enough updates to make life easy and opportunity with additional space already in place to expand your living footprint when you're ready. Homes with this kind of soul don’t sit still—schedule your showing before someone else falls in love first. Open Houses: Friday, 4/10 @ 5pm-6:30pm & Saturday, 4/11 @ 11am-12:30pm. Delayed Negotiations until Tuesday, April 14th @ 3pm
