About This Home
As of December 2018Featured on the cover of ME Home Design the gracefully restored William W. Whipple House is an urban oasis. Hand painted walls in the 1st floor hallway are a subtle soft gold resembling fine stucco found in Italian villas. The maple floors that lead from the front of the home to the Italian courtyard garden are hand painted in classical style. The living room & dining flow together to create one harmonious space or can be separated by the original pocket doors. Original to the home is the plaster molding dating from 1869. A large, modern gourmet kitchen, complete with an entertaining area, created for function first, is sure to please the most discriminating chef. The 2nd floor master suite has French doors that open onto a wrought iron balcony overlooking the courtyard. In addition, there's a finished 3rd floor with multiple rooms which could serve as an in-law suite, nanny quarters or Air BnB. Property appraised at $1,000,000 9/18. Previous buyer unable to secure financing.
