In a neighborhood known for its architectural consistency and strong sense of place, 3604 Dorothy Lane stands out by getting the details right.
The home sits on one of Monticello’s most desirable streets, framed by mature trees and anchored by a classic front porch that feels both polished and inviting. From the outset, it’s clear this is a house designed to function as well as it presents — elegant, yes, but rooted in everyday livability.
Inside, the layout unfolds with a clear sense of purpose. Formal living and dining rooms anchor the front of the home, defined by detailed millwork, generous windows, and a fireplace that gives the spaces warmth — both literally and figuratively. These rooms feel designed for real use, whether that’s hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in, with proportions that allow furniture to breathe and natural light to do the heavy lifting.
The kitchen, however, is where the home truly distinguishes itself. Bright and airy, the space features marble countertops, glass-front cabinetry, and a large central island that keeps everything open and functional. A built-in banquette overlooks the backyard, offering a casual seating area that quickly becomes part of daily routines, whether it's morning coffee, after-school snacks, or lingering weekend breakfasts.

3604 Dorothy Lane is listed for $1.59 million.
Just off the kitchen, the family room is wrapped in French doors, creating an easy connection to the outdoors and filling the space with light throughout the day. When open, the doors extend living and entertaining space into the backyard; when closed, they still preserve the sense of openness that defines the main level.
Upstairs, the home continues to balance style with function. Bedrooms are bright and thoughtfully finished, with updated features that keep the spaces current while respecting the home’s original character. A playroom with built-in storage and abundant natural light adds flexibility, whether used for toys, hobbies, or future work-from-home needs. Nearby, a small landing off the staircase offers additional space for a reading nook or study area.
The backyard is designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. Turf eliminates constant upkeep, while a large covered patio provides year-round usability. Mature trees offer shade and privacy, creating a setting that works just as well for entertaining as it does for casual afternoons outside.
Listing agent Joseph Berkes says it's "By far the best four-bedroom property you will find in Monticello at this price point. It truly has so much to offer in regards to living space and backyard square footage."
Beyond the home itself, the prized Monticello location completes the picture. River Crest Country Club is a short golf-cart ride away, Monticello Park is just minutes from the front door, and the neighborhood’s sense of community remains one of its strongest draws. Picture kids on bikes, neighbors on walks, and plenty of smiles and waves.
