A French cottage like this doesn't come along often -- and rarely one that has held its character this completely. Built in 1925 in Westwood Park, it carries the kind of soul that can't be reproduced at any price: arched ceilings, original wood beams, hand-laid masonry, French doors, and a fireplace that has clearly been the heart of this home for generations.

The kitchen and baths have been updated with restraint -- modernized for how you actually live, without sanding away an ounce of warmth or personality. Upstairs, the primary suite spans nearly the entire level: a renovated bath, a generous walk-in closet, a flexible sitting room or office, and French doors that open onto a private rooftop terrace.
Two more bedrooms and a full bath sit on the main level. The dining room flows to a spacious screened porch that quietly extends the living space -- and just as quietly becomes everyone's favorite place to land. A private drive, a newer garage, and additional parking offer a convenience homes of this era almost never have.
And then there's the life that comes with it. Coffee in the morning. Flowers on the way home. Chocolate, gelato, dinner with friends, a slow walk through the neighborhood, a quick turn through the Plaza -- all of it, right outside the door.
