1433 Sherwood Avenue

Overview

Some homes change hands often. Others have a way of being held onto - loved through the years and passed along only when life enters a new season. This is one of those homes. Set beneath a canopy of mature trees on a beautiful sidewalk-lined street, its classic 1960s craftsmanship has endured: gleaming hardwood floors, wonderfully generous rooms and three fireplaces that have warmed decades of gatherings. Out back, an exceptional three-season porch overlooks a remarkably private, fenced yard made for summer dinners, celebrations and quiet afternoons. And while its character remains timeless, important updates are already in place, including a newer roof, furnace and central air. Walk to schools, enjoy nearby Gaslight Village and Breton Village, and discover a home that feels both tucked away and connected to everything. Perhaps the best part of its story is that it has been loved enough that people simply haven't wanted to leave.

What to ask about this one

Three questions worth putting to the listing side before you write anything. They are specific to this property, not a checklist.

1. 01

   Budget for a pre-1978 inspection — lead paint, knob-and-tube, and the roof

2. 02

   Ask what the taxable value uncaps to after the sale, not what the seller pays now
