About This Home
As of July 2024Fabulous semi-detached historic townhome, circa 1760, exudes timeless appeal with a harmonious blend of classic features and modern elegance. 3 bedrooms, 3.5 renovated marble baths, original hardwood floors, 5 wood burning fireplaces, a side mudroom entrance and convenient half bath with heated floors. The open chef's kitchen with a large island flows seamlessly into the light-filled family room featuring built-in bookshelves, a wood burning fireplace and French doors that lead to the expansive deep brick patio. This large outdoor space is rare in Old Town. The mature landscaping provides lush privacy and the fully fenced area is perfect for children to play plus a dog to run. A formal living room and dining room are wonderful entertaining spaces, both filled with natural light pouring in from original windows with wavy panes of glass. The enormous primary suite with a fireplace extends across the rear of the house and overlooks the beautiful garden. Custom built wardrobe closets with drawers, shelves and hanging space adjoins the renovated bath featuring an oversized shower. Two more guest rooms plus an office space are filled with windows. Two renovated bathrooms complete these guest rooms. The finished basement with original beams has windows for natural light.....a perfect exercise space or playroom for children. This prime southeast quadrant location is close to all Old Town restaurants, specialty shops and parks. NOTE: Garden statues and urns do not convey.
