MAIN HOUSE, 1701 Woodland Ave: a stately Victorian with 3,713 sq ft across three finished levels, including a 774 sq ft finished attic, plus a full basement. Features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 11 rooms, two fireplaces, central air, boiler heat, and a 382 sq ft front porch. CARRIAGE HOUSE, 1711 Woodland Ave: a separately addressed 1.5-story all-brick home with 1,378 sq ft, 2 bedrooms including an upstairs primary with its own fireplace, a full bath, a full basement, boiler heat, and its own porch.
