This is the kind of house Alder Street is known for: a wide, low-slung porch, tapered columns and a front room that still has its original dark-wood bookcases either side of the brick fireplace. The previous owners were careful with it — the oak floors are original and in good order, and the trim has never been painted over.

The kitchen was rebuilt in 2019 with shaker cabinets, butcher-block counters and a farmhouse sink, and there is a breakfast nook in the window that gets the morning sun. Two of the three bedrooms are upstairs; the third works well as an office.

Good to know

Walkable to the shops on Merrimon, and the school catchment is one of the better ones in town. We expect this one to move quickly — ask us about a viewing before the open house.
