Property Description

In the Monticello Park Historic District, where architectural integrity is the neighborhood's calling card, 218 North Drive stands out even among its peers - a 1922 Tudor Revival cottage whose original details have survived a century largely untouched. The living and dining rooms set the tone immediately, with coved ceilings and lime-washed plaster walls that carry the texture and depth only original materials can produce. A stunning gas fireplace and built-in cabinetry, both original to the home, anchor the living spaces without needing embellishment. Underfoot, the oak and pine flooring has been carefully refurbished, and the wood-framed windows have been restored to their original function. Even the doorknobs are original glass, a small detail that tells a larger story about how this home has been treated over the past decade. The kitchen is where old meets new: stone countertops, custom cabinetry with brass hardware, and high-end appliances bring modern usability into a space that still feels rooted in its 1922 origins. Comfort has been considered too - central HVAC runs quietly behind brass registers chosen specifically to blend with the home's historic finishes. Three well-proportioned bedrooms complete the floor plan, including a primary suite with a second connecting room offering real flexibility. As it stands, it works beautifully as a sunroom, home office or library; down the line, it could just as easily become a spa-inspired bath and walk-in closet. It's a rare kind of built-in optionality in a home this age. What makes 218 North Drive especially notable is the level of care behind it. The current owner has approached ownership less like a renovation project and more like preservation - protecting original materials while making only the updates the home truly needed. WHO THIS HOME IS FOR: You understand what you're looking at - architecture over cosmetic staging, a property that hasn't been stripped of its character, and life in a walkable, established neighborhood with genuine identity. If you recognize the difference between a "historic-style" renovation and an actually preserved early 20th Century property - welcome home!
