Fabulous Foursquare
805 Norton Street
It isn’t often that you see a home with so
much of its exterior historic fabric intact
in a neighborhood that has undergone
many changes. That is the case of the
handsome residence at 805 Norton Street,
which was built in 1922 and still retains
its original clapboard and shingle siding,
brick foundation, and wood porch—all
in good condition. Built in the popular
American Foursquare style, the house
features a hipped roof with a dormer window
punctuating each side—providing light in the
attic space—and a wide overhanging eave.
The full-width front porch is notable for its
handsome pyramidal columns resting on
brick pillars, concrete floor and beaded board
ceiling. Off the driveway is a second side
entry with a decorative, bracketed hood.
The front door opens into a welcoming space
that fills the eye with wonderful details on
each of its three sides: on the wall to the left
is a pair of stained glass windows; straight
ahead is a beautiful staircase with warm
wood paneling below the wood balustrade;
and to the right is a handsome wood paneled
entry to the living room with tapered columns
framing the opening. Inside the living room
are beautiful leaded glass bookcases.
Original wood window trim and cove molding
continue throughout these spaces. The
original wood floor remains beneath the wallto-wall carpeting, loosely laid down for the
owners’ young child. Light pours through two
front windows and a three-window bay with a
bench seat. The dining room follows through
a wide opening. Beyond are a small office
space and a powder room. The kitchen has
been updated with new flooring, counters,
cupboards, and a glass-tiled backsplash.
A large table currently serves as the family
dining area. Off the back is a small southfacing sunporch—perfect for inside plants—
and access to the backyard. The second floor
contains four bedrooms, each with plenty of
closet space, as well as a small sunporch
off a back bedroom. The full bath retains its
original tiled floor and walls. A huge three-car
garage with a side work room is at the end of
a wide, paved driveway.
Surrounded by well-maintained early 20th
century houses, the house is located just
west of Hudson Avenue, within sight of the
orange tower of the beautiful St. Stanislaus
Kostka Roman Catholic Church and the
Integrated Arts and Technology High
School, housed in the 1928 Franklin High
School building. The active Group 14621
Community Association assists residents
in improving their neighborhoods through
a variety of events and programs. With
1,890 square feet of living space, this fine
residence is offered at only $59,900. Contact
Darlene Maimone, at Nothnagle Realtors, at
