This real charmer in Windsor
Terrace belongs to a row
of circa-1910, two-story brick
homes with front porches and
fanciful toppers. Inside are impressive
original details like
parquet fl oors with elaborate
borders, stained-glass windows,
a pier mirror with fl uted
columns and foliate details,
and neo-Classical columns between
the two parlors.
The dining room has a coffered
ceiling and vintage embossed
wall covering (known
as Anaglypta or Lincrusta)
topped by a bracketed plate
rail. The kitchen, built as a
ground-level extension with
laundry room below, has a
1940s stove, an original built-in
dish cupboard, and a tin ceiling.
Just outside it is a powder
room and another built-in.
Upstairs among the three
bedrooms and shared bathroom,
the master bedroom has
a window seat with storage in
the street-facing, three-sided
window bay, and a wall of original
built-in closets with overhead
compartments.
The single-family house, at
235 E. Fourth St., was developed
in 1909–10 by the Homeseekers
Improvement Co., according to
historic maps and ads from the
time touting the “dining room
in Mission, with beam ceilings,
plate shelf, and French doors,”
along with a “piazza” and electric
lights “not usually found in
houses at the price we are asking.”
The row of houses built
on the street originally possessed
a mix of Tudor, Dutch,
neo-Classical, and other styles
of front gables and were duly
described as “artistic homes.”
The interior of this one is a mix:
Colonial Revival parlors and
Arts and Crafts-Mission in the
dining room.
This company wasn’t the
only one building these “artistic
homes” during the time:
There’s a very similar row
in Gravesend by a different
builder (to name just one). A
fun article about the houses
under construction on E.
Fourth Street has the builder
bragging, Ian Schrager-like,
that they are better quality
than those of similar design
by other builders. It describes
some of the interior details,
including the “Dutch” landscape
painted above the plate
rail in the dining room — nostalgic,
Dutch-inspired design
was popular in this period.
The 1940 tax photo shows
that the front porch was glassed
in at some point, but now it is
back to its original look. You
can also see the mix of gable
front styles in the row.
Asking $1.499 million, it’s
listed by Lisa Garcia and Cindy
Fazio for Compass.
Is it a good price for all the
home’s charms?
