Property Description
Often admired by passers-by, this completely charming Preston home (circa 1905) is now for sale. Owned by the same family for the last 85 years, 436 Margaret Street carries the unmistakable warmth and craftsmanship of a true early-century home, lovingly preserved through multiple generations. An enclosed wrap-around front porch welcomes you inside, where bright, spacious rooms, high ceilings, gorgeous windows, and natural hardwood floors and trim showcase the enduring quality of the home’s early construction. A formal living and dining room, two bedrooms, and an eat-in kitchen anchor the main floor, while at the rear, a Slotegraaf-built addition adds a comfortable family room with gas fireplace, a laundry room, and a full 3-pc bath - thoughtful updates that blend seamlessly with the home’s heritage. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The partly finished basement offers storage and future development potential. Set on a beautiful quarter-acre lot (64' x 165'), the backyard feels almost park-like, with mature trees, a raised pavestone patio, and a pergola—an outdoor space that has clearly been enjoyed for generations. An oversized single garage accommodates a large car or SUV with additional storage space, and the driveway allows parking for 4–5 vehicles. Call your Realtor now to arrange a visit to this delightful, well-loved century home.
