"For the right buyer who has the vision to look past the Permastone exterior, this South Midwood residence is just bursting with details in gleaming condition. Built-ins, wood floors, wainscoting, and mantels are among the early 20th century period elements. At 685 East 22nd Street, the detached house is on the corner of Farragut Avenue and has yard space and a two-car garage."
"The dramatic peak of the front gable gives a hint as to the original character of the dwelling, and the historic tax photo shows the massing, with angled bays and dormered roof, hasn't changed. Where there is now Permastone there once were shingles, and while the columns of the partially open front porch have been covered, it appears that some of the original brackets might still be in place. The tax photo from 1981 shows the facade had not yet been covered in Permastone at that point."
685 East 22nd Street is a detached corner house in South Midwood with yard space and a two-car garage. The house contains early 20th-century period elements including built-ins, wood floors, wainscoting, and mantels in gleaming condition. Construction in South Midwood began around 1900 with builders creating single-family homes in Queen Anne, colonial, and Eastlake styles. The front gable, angled bays, and dormered roof retain original massing while the exterior has been covered with Permastone where shingles once were. The partially open front porch columns have been covered though some original brackets may remain. The house has three floors plus a basement and an entry foyer with mosaic-tile floor.
