Property Description
As you approach 518 Florence Avenue, it is hard to believe this impressive home was originally built in the mid-1920s as a one bedroom cottage. You might have an easier time, as you survey the expansive lot, visualizing it as farmland complete with horses and chickens. The home was expanded in 1930 to add two bedrooms but that is far from where this home's story & renovations end. The Harriss family poured their love & labor into this home for over 45 years. They didn't just "add space" but rather over 30+/- years designed & personally crafted by hand all the wonderful practical, quirky & whimsical details within the home & property.  The stained glass windows were made by Peter Harriss in the basement.  While many will see the basement as ideal storage & bonus space, others will appreciate the full workshop it was designed to be & may even be able to detect that was where most of the addition was built.  Ready for the next caretakers to "add" their own stamp to this special home.

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
