1915 Foursquare with a full-width porch

27 Summit Avenue had been in the same family since 1971, and they wanted it to go to someone who would keep its character. We listed it on a Friday, held one open house, and it was under contract six days later with two offers, both above the asking price.

What sold it: a price based on the three Foursquares that sold in Laurel Heights this year rather than the newer homes nearby, and photos that put the heart pine floors, the bay window and the upstairs wainscoting front and center.

Location: Laurel Heights

Ashbury's best-known older neighborhood. Sidewalks, deep front porches and big oaks, five minutes from Main Street. Homes rarely sit long here, so it pays to be ready before one comes up.

27 Summit Avenue is the clay pin. Pins are approximate; we share the exact address when you book a tour.
