Welcome to 757 Locust, a stunning 6-bedroom, 4.2-bath home set on a 15,000-square-foot lot in the heart of Hubbard Woods. Built in 1920 and thoughtfully updated over the years, this exceptional residence blends timeless architecture with modern comfort, exuding character, warmth, and charm at every turn.

Four additional bedrooms, one with an en-suite bath, and a hall bath complete the second floor. The third floor (by Paul Konstant) offers a sixth bedroom, a full bath, and a charming hangout space with treetop views of Locust Street. The lower level provides space for play and abundant storage.
