The original porch also wrapped around to the left connecting with what is now the Master Bedroom, as shown in a 1914 Sanborn map. This was Young’s personal home. A developer and plumber, he also built several other homes on this block. Most recently it was used as a transitional home before being renovated by the seller, a professional engineer, who added a new roof, zoned HVAC, 1st floor master suite (left), modern kitchen, baths, smooth ceilings and much more. |
