A Cornhill Gem! Distinctive architectural character defines this beautifully designed 2–3 bedroom townhome, cherished by the same owner for 30 years. Soaring 9-foot ceilings and four tall living room windows frame serene views of Ralph Avery Mall from the welcoming front porch — a truly unique setting in historic Corn Hill. The home reflects a Craftsman cottage aesthetic throughout, showcasing wide flat moldings, taller baseboards, and projecting cap door casings. Kitchen and bath cabinetry are crafted in a timeless Shaker style that complements the home’s architectural character. Underfoot, oak hardwood floors anchor the kitchen while handcrafted hickory hardwood flows through the living and dining rooms, accented by a gas fireplace with a dry-stack ledgestone surround and a substantial hickory mantle. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms are joined by an open room ideal as a third bedroom, family room, or study. The lower level offers a finished basement — perfect for a home office or recreation room. Too many extras to list here — see attachments for the full scope of updates and improvements. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind Corn Hill treasure. Delayed showings until Wednesday, June 17th, 2026, at 10am; Offers due by Wednesday, June 24th, 2026, at 10am. Open House Thursday, June 18th, 6-7pm and Sunday, June 21st, from 12-1pm!
