626 Lafayette Street

Some homes simply feel special the moment you arrive. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home sits in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods, where mature homes, established streets, and timeless architecture create a setting that never goes out of style. Built in 1941, it carries the warmth and character of another era—real wood floors underfoot, classic radiators, and the kind of craftsmanship that’s difficult to replicate today. Yet this home has been thoughtfully updated for the way we live now. The kitchen has been beautifully renovated, the bathrooms refreshed, and modern HVAC paired with economical gas heat keeps the home comfortable in every season while keeping energy costs manageable. Outside, convenient off-street parking for two or more cars makes daily life that much easier. But the moment that truly captures your heart happens on the screened-in porch. From here, you can sit with a cup of coffee in the morning or unwind at the end of the day while taking in the view overlooking Lafayette College and the surrounding landscape. It’s peaceful, open, and quietly beautiful—one of those spaces where time seems to slow down just a little. This is the rare kind of home that offers both: the character and soul of a historic property, paired with the updates that make everyday living easy.
