(Yes, give up the expense and stress of exorbitant monthly parking fees or street parking! After doing this for years in Manhattan, the off-street parking has served as a major life-altering unexpected pleasure. It is incredible to unload groceries from the car, 5 steps to the kitchen. Or to sleep through the night without waking up in a sweat wondering how or where the car is!)
Building footprint: 18 x 40 feet, garage 11 x 21 feet
Fenced front yard: 11 x 18
Fenced back garden: 13 x 33 feet

We are only the third owners, hence almost all the original architectural details are intact.
1920 to 1975: The original owners were a piano teacher and her two daughters. Several people on the street remember taking lessons from her.
1975 to 2002: The second owner-family.
