About This Home
As of August 2021Welcome to where historic meets modern in this unique Quaker Hill property. Meticulously maintained by the same owners since 1979, the home is move-in ready. Pride of ownership is apparent by the beaming Bruce flooring upon entry, recessed lighting , gas converted fireplace, updated galley kitchen with a gas stove oven, eat-in breakfast bar, built-in wine cooler, stainless steel appliances, and more. Pella slider opens up to a secluded, brick courtyard complete with a working corner fireplace - perfect for any season! Upstairs is a front facing bedroom with private access to a full bathroom complete with vessel sink and updated vanity. Adjacent to this bedroom is an open den featuring a wood-burning fireplace. The top floor, primary bedroom suite boasts a skylight, cedar closets, a full bathroom with sunken cast iron tub, dual sinks and high grade Kohler products. The updated basement was designed to be a private wine cellar with its brick walls and a half bath hidden by a pocket door not to mention another fireplace with electric insert controlled by remote. Unique features of this home include plexiglass floor sections on the top and second levels (thicker than the average floor!), National Historic Registry, numerous built-in cabinets for storage, original stair railing spindles (c. 1868), full standing basement, and more.
