About This Home
Welcome to this beautifully restored circa 1870 Folk Victorian, where history and craftsmanship meet modern comfort. Steeped in character, this 5-bedroom, 3 full and 2 half bath, 3-story home, reflects the aspirations and values of its era--while thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle. Step into the gracious foyer and into the light filled living room, featuring 9' ceilings and a decorative fireplace with its original marble mantel--a stunning centerpiece that speaks to the home's history. Intricate trim work, rich crown molding and period details carry throughout. The banquet--sized dining room features a striking canted bay window, perfect for entertaining. At the heart of the home, the fully renovated kitchen blends vintage charm with modern style, crisp white cabinetry, quartz counters, a bold blue peninsula and a built-in beverage hutch adds charm and convenience. Quartz countertops and porcelain tile flooring add durability and elegance to this showstopping space. Outside, the home's gable--front, L-shaped form is enhanced by classic exterior molding and period shutters, offering storybook curb appeal with a hint of Craftsman influence. Enjoy lazy mornings or evening breezes on the gracious front wraparound porch.
