Masterfully restored and filled with timeless character, this stunning early 1920s brick Arts and Crafts-style home is situated on one of the finest lots in downtown Westminster, offering nearly a full acre at approximately .97 acre. Originally constructed by Dr. Strickland, this remarkable two-story residence blends historic craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates and features four bedrooms, two and a half baths, multiple living and entertaining spaces, a pool and deck area, two-car carport, and two-car detached garage.

French doors connect the living room to the formal dining room and open to a charming arched side porch, creating a wonderful flow for entertaining. Continue through the butler's pantry into the kitchen, featuring shiplap walls, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and abundant natural light from the beautifully restored windows. Just off the kitchen is a large living and dining great room, ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings at home, with direct access to the spacious deck and pool area. The main level also offers a versatile office or fourth bedroom with an adjoining half bath, along with a dedicated laundry room complete with a utility sink.
