This compact corner cottage was built during the town’s early 20th Century expansion, when builders favored simple frame‑and‑shingle cottages sized to fit narrow lots.
Rather than raw square footage, these are homes that attract owners seeking prime location, age, and walkability.
Architecturally, the home is modest and low‑rise, with simple massing, a gentle roof pitch and an understated façade.
The straightforward form reads as a practical, neighborhood‑scale house that quietly anchors the block and fits comfortably into it.
Despite the small footprint, buyers pay a premium for older homes downtown. The draw is location and historic charm, and that premium has only increased in recent years.
The scale also creates more options for smaller families and single occupants to live in PG’s most walkable neighborhood, while adding visual variety to the block.
3 Things I Love About the Home:
1. The Brick Stairwell: The earthy reds compliment the red house and creates a great contrast with the yard.
2.
3. The Hood Windows: The hood creates a graceful, finished shape to the window that contrasts with the overall boxy design.
