About This Home

As of June 2020

Located on one of Old Town's idyllic tree-lined blocks, this renovated Victorian with detached garage effortlessly blends historic character and modern sophistication. The home was featured on the Old Town home tour twice and the Old Town garden tour once. On the main level, handsome archways, period moldings, high ceilings and a neutral palette set a soothing tone. Relax in the light-filled living room featuring a beautiful wood-burning fireplace and floor to ceiling built-ins. Enjoy formal or casual meals by the fire in the elegant dining room. Gourmets will appreciate the newly renovated eat-in kitchen with sparkling white cabinets, Bosch appliances, granite counters, and subway tile backsplash. The exposed brick wall and the heated porcelain wood-look tile floors complement the bright backdrop. The main level also includes a powder room. The upper two levels feature five bedrooms and two full bathrooms - offering versatility and flexibility for living and working at home. The lower level cellar includes a wine closet and plenty of storage space. Outside, tranquility awaits in the private backyard. Featuring an English garden and fabulous serpentine wall, the setting is perfectly suited for relaxing or dining al fresco. An oversized detached garage with an additional parking space in the alley completes this offering. Located just steps from Old Town shops, restaurants, Metro and the waterfront, your new home awaits.
