About This Home
As of June 2017The classic architecture of this Governor's Lane townhouse is complemented by the sophisticated details any discriminating buyer will adore. Beautiful mill work, hardwood floors and recessed lighting throughout the home provide a pleasing continuity. The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, which features white cabinetry, soapstone counters, subway tile back splash, Wolfe stove and a Shaw farmhouse sink. The kitchen opens upon the family room, with the center island as the divider between the two rooms. The family room's cathedral ceiling with dual skylights provides plenty of light, while the gas fireplace provides plenty of warmth. Built-in bookcases on either side of the fireplace provide visual interest, with closed cabinets for storage. The formal living room also has a gas fireplace with windows on either side. Built-in bookcases on either side of the entrance to the living room provide the perfect showcase for book lovers. A walk-in bay window highlights the dining room. Upstairs, the spacious master suite has a gas fireplace, en suite master bath, and plenty of room for a sitting area. Two other bedrooms share a full bathroom located off the upstairs hallway, while the fourth bedroom, which is currently used as an office and has a full wall of built-ins which includes a desk, has its own en suite bathroom. A finished basement with a projector TV provides additional space for recreational pursuits, while also housing the laundry room. Superb location, sophisticated style and beautiful finishes combine in this classically appealing home. Close to town and gown - Governors Lane has it all!
