Detail-Filled Midwood Park Standalone Asks $1.75 Million

"The early 20th century home has the exterior charm of a wraparound porch, while the interior boasts an intact inglenook, wood floors, stained glass, a pier mirror, and more period flourishes."

"Designed by prolific architect Benjamin Driesler, the dwelling retains the gambrel rooflines, bay windows, and the columns of that wraparound porch seen in a circa 1940 tax photo."

"The first floor has plenty of room for entertaining. That later extension added an informal dining area with a sleeping porch above. The sleeping porch is in its traditional spot, off one of the four bedrooms on the second floor."

"While the front parlor has delicate wall moldings and a columned pier mirror, the central hall (or reception room) was designed to make the most impressive impact on visitors. There are built-in seating areas at both ends of the long room and columns framing the view to the staircase."

Located at 706 East 18th Street in the Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park Historic District, this circa 1907 Colonial Revival home was designed by architect Benjamin Driesler and built by the John R. Corbin Company. The exterior showcases a wraparound porch with columns and gambrel rooflines, while the interior retains numerous period features including an intact inglenook, wood floors, stained glass, and a pier mirror. The three-story home offers abundant bedroom space and entertaining areas, with a first-floor parlor featuring delicate moldings, a central reception hall with built-in seating and columns, and a billiard room on the top floor. Early owners made alterations including a rear extension and windowed bays.
