Inside, you'll find 12-foot ceilings, original heart pine floors, original windows, original transoms, and four original fireplaces, two of which feature gas logs.

A shared driveway provides convenient off street rear parking.
Elegant, timeless, and full of character, this is more than a home—it's an opportunity to enjoy the charm, history, and walkable lifestyle that make Oakwood so special. All that's missing is you!
