TRULY ELEGANT QUEEN ANNE VICTORIAN W ALL THE PERIOD MOLDINGS & DETAILS BUT ALL THE MODERN CONVENIENCES. OPEN CHEF'S KIT, FRONT PARLOR/MUSIC RM, GORGEOUS CORNER LOT W/BIG YEAR YARD W/FAB GARDENS. HOUSE IS APPROX 4900 SF. Neighborhood Description With its mix of bungalows, colonials and Tudor-style houses, North Woodside lives up to the florid prose that described it in a 1920s advertisement for "homes of diversified types -- relieving from all chance of monotony; and appealing to personal taste and individual family requirements in size and style – Bungalows of original designs and Cottages of Colonial character." Despite the ad's claim of "commodious closets" and "big rooms," many of the homeowners have found a need to expand over the years, with residents opting to stay in the neighborhood rather than move to larger houses elsewhere."One of the distinct characteristics of the neighborhood is that an awful lot of people like me have added on or renovated," said Woody Brosnan, president of the North Woodside/Montgomery Hills Civic Association and self-proclaimed "civic busybody." Brosnan said, "It's almost universal that once people move into the community, they don't want to leave and will find a way to make the house they have work." Woodlin Elementary School is located in North Woodside, and many residents choose the community because of the school and continue to live there long after their children have graduated from high school, he said. Brosnan moved to his fixer-upper Cape Cod house 20 years ago, replacing the tiny kitchen and adding another bathroom. He's still at work renovating the basement.
