Available for lease beginning 8/1/2026, this lovingly restored 1940 Craftsman offers a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the best views in all of Westcott. This four-bedroom, one-bathroom home combines historic character with extensive modern updates in a uniquely private setting.

The home features three porches, including a full-size front porch perfect for enjoying sunset views over the neighborhood and a rear screened porch ideal for morning coffee and breakfast. Set high above Lancaster Avenue, the property enjoys exceptional privacy, with Westminster Park directly behind the home and a neighboring vacant forest lot controlled by the owner.

Extensively renovated inside and out, the home features a new kitchen with pantry and new appliances, a fully renovated bathroom, refinished hardwood floors, and restored and freshly painted walls, ceilings, and trim throughout. Original details have been carefully preserved, including a large living room window bench, several original windows, an original decorative fireplace, and Tiffany-style wall sconces in the living room.

All four bedrooms are corner bedrooms with windows on two sides, providing abundant natural light and excellent airflow. Additional improvements include new landscaping, a restored stone entry staircase, updated light fixtures throughout, and new basement windows.

The full-size basement offers laundry facilities, a new electrical panel, and ample storage space. A rear mudroom provides convenient everyday access.

A truly special home offering character, comfort, privacy, and one of Westcott's most desirable settings.
