Welcome to a rare Ravenswood property where timeless craftsmanship, generous space, and everyday comfort come together in a way that feels both grounded and elevated. Built in 1963 and thoughtfully maintained over the years, this distinctive home offers the warmth and character rarely found in newer construction—set across three parcels in one of the area’s most established and convenient neighborhoods.
From the moment you arrive, the home feels inviting. Mature landscaping, a broad covered front porch, and classic architecture create an immediate sense of permanence and calm. Inside, nearly 3,000 square feet of main-level living space unfolds with oversized rooms, natural light, hardwood flooring, and a layout designed equally well for quiet evenings and large family gatherings.
At the heart of the home is an expansive family room anchored by a gas fireplace and surrounded by views into adjoining living and dining spaces. The flow is comfortable, open, and welcoming without losing the warmth of distinct rooms and architectural character. The kitchen, dining areas, and gathering spaces feel made for holidays, conversations, and everyday living that actually breathes.
The home features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on the main level, along with spacious storage throughout including cedar-lined closets that add both charm and functionality. Large windows frame peaceful neighborhood views while bringing in soft natural light across the home’s warm interior finishes.
Beyond the beauty, the home offers exceptional long-term quality and infrastructure updates, including:
* Boiler-powered radiant baseboard heating system known for consistent, comfortable heat
* Whole-house water softener system
* Attic fan for added ventilation and energy efficiency
* Newer windows throughout
* Roof approximately 10 years old
* Exceptional plumbing and mechanical upkeep
* Newer appliances
* Oversized driveway with abundant additional parking
Outside, the property transforms into a private retreat. The fenced in-ground pool, tiled patio, and gazebo create an atmosphere that feels more like a tucked-away resort than an in-town property. Whether hosting summer gatherings, enjoying quiet mornings by the water, or relaxing under the evening lights, the outdoor spaces offer exceptional privacy and comfort.
The finished basement adds an entirely additional layer of living and entertaining space, including:
* Large recreation area
* Bar area
* Den/lounge space
* Exercise room
* Bonus office or guest room
* Half bath with dog washing station
* Workshop area
* Extensive storage
An oversized 2-car carport with attached corn crib/storage area adds practicality while preserving the home’s original character and functionality.
This is the kind of home that feels increasingly difficult to find—solidly built, spacious without feeling generic, full of personality, and designed for real life. A property with presence, warmth, and room to create decades of memories ahead.
Conveniently located near schools, shopping, parks, and town amenities while still offering the quiet feel of an established neighborhood setting.
A truly special opportunity in Ravenswood. Pre-approval letter or proof of funds required prior to scheduling showings. Serious qualified buyers only.

What the owner loves about this home
Other than it being the house my husband grew up in so some things we kept intact because high quality materials and nostalgic but it’s a well laid out and huge home. Sitting on the f don’t porch rockers with a cup of coffee while it thunderstorms or on the back patio while the chimes blew in the wind we had our own private retreat. Even though conveniently located in heart of town we always felt very private. So many things about house make it one of if not the best built house in ravenswood. We are entering retirement and chose to downsize but it’s hard to leave this beauty! We hope it provides the same happiness for the next owner that it has us.
