Casually drive South Alvord Boulevard, and this brick Tudor is sure to slow your pace. Built in 1937, the charming abode with its arched front doorway under a dramatically steeped roof point has clearly been appreciated throughout its time.
Homeowners Jonathan and Patricia Weinzapfel agreed to honor the house’s character when they moved in 20 years ago.
“You can tell that everyone who has lived in the home has loved it,” Patricia says. “When we bought it, we wanted to be good stewards of this beautiful house.”
Meticulous improvements and attentive care make full use of each floor of the four-bedroom, three-bath home, honoring the style of original design. Bookshelves procured from the old Central Library were artisan-installed to preserve their historic significance.
The Weinzapfels made happy memories raising their children there.
“It is beautiful, but at the same time, it’s warm, inviting, and approachable to everyone who walks in the door,” Patricia says.
