Once upon a time, we moved onto Shaw Avenue - a dear, quiet, charm-forward neighborhood hidden in the heart of Rockland proper. Although we loved our own sweet little house, we adored 26 Shaw Avenue from across the street. It sat nice and neat and sound on a grassy corner lot getting sun all day long. To us, it looked like the kind of house that would welcome you in, give you a comfortable place to sit and make you want to stay for a while or forever... and it turns out we were right. That is exactly the kind of house 26 Shaw Ave is and we can't wait to show it to you. The house has consistently had excellent stewards and the current owner is no exception; it has been well-maintained and loved with thoughtful upgrades and updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, systems and structure as a whole. What has also been consistent is a desire to keep as much of the enchanting originality of the house intact and honored - after all, its things like original pocket doors and old-growth wood floors that tell you what a house is. The house has flexibility of space both in and out; a lovely front deck with a retractable awning overlooking a generously sized patio surrounded by new landscaping that creates a sense of privacy. Inside, the house flows like a more modern build with a large center island in the kitchen, spacious rooms with high ceilings, cozy alcoves and lots of windows. Above the attached 2 car garage is a loft area with new windows, electrical service and insulation ready for your ideas - we were thinking an in-law apartment, home office, art studio or opening it up to the primary bedroom (located just on the other side of the shared wall) and making a true primary suite. Whatever you decide, we have a feeling that you will fall in love with 26 as well. It sure makes it easy.
