1926 Colonial with a deep front porch

Laurel Heights homes like this one don’t come up often. Built in 1926 and cared for by the same family for 22 years, 412 Laurel Avenue mixes original character with the updates that matter: a new roof, updated electrical and a primary bathroom redone in 2023.

The front porch is eight feet deep, wide enough for a swing and a table, and it looks onto one of the quietest blocks in the neighborhood. Inside, the living room centers on a stone wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen has a gas range, a peninsula for homework or coffee, and a full wall of pantry storage.

Upstairs are four bedrooms and two full baths. The fenced back yard has room for a garden, and the detached garage is ready for a car or a workshop. Laurel Park is three blocks away and the elementary school is a short walk.
