Description

All-Brick Cape Cod on a Dead-End Street in Avondale Tucked into the Avondale pocket of Hikes Point, this all-brick Cape Cod sits back from a quiet dead-end street on one of the section’s larger homesites. The curb appeal is the real thing: classic dormers, a brick chimney, mature landscaping, and a red front door that tells you exactly what kind of home this is. Inside, the living room anchors on an original white mantel with a marble-tiled firebox and herringbone hearth, flanked by windows that pull light across the hardwood floors. The remodeled kitchen is the showpiece: white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, a gray subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances including a Samsung French-door refrigerator, and a rear door that opens straight to the deck. The dining room sits just off the kitchen with its original hardwoods intact. Upstairs, two bedrooms stretch the full length of the home under dormered ceilings, both with hardwood floors and ceiling fans. The second-floor full bath preserves its period black-and-white tile, a detail you cannot reproduce. The finished basement adds real square footage: a rec room with a shiplap accent wall and barn door, a built-in wet bar with a wine fridge, plus a half bath. Out back, the grilling deck overlooks a yard enclosed by a new $25,000 privacy fence. A one-car detached garage adds covered parking and storage. Recent mechanicals are handled: furnace installed February 2026.
