About This Home

Rare Heritage Estate; History Meets Opportunity Nestled in one of the city's most sought-after historic neighborhoods, this beautifully renovated & preserved 100-year-old estate is far more than a home--it is a legacy property restored for modern living. Freshly painted inside and out, every building on the property has been lovingly maintained and is truly move-in ready. Striking green ceramic tile roof; original hardwood floors and custom plantation shutters throughout, heritage fireplaces, extraordinary original mantels, craftsmanship from another era blends seamlessly with today's comforts. Estate includes four separate solid structures, offering remarkable flexibility for family living, guest accommodations, creative pursuits, or income potential. MAIN RESIDENCE: gracious main house offers four (4) bedrooms and three (3) bathrooms, filled with natural light through oversized original windows framed by custom plantation shutters. FIRST FLOOR: grand salon living room, light-filled family room, generous formal dining room, library, powder room, and an inviting screened porch overlooking the gardens. Also, a true chef's kitchen designed for both everyday living and serious cooking, featuring: double Dacor ovens; Five-burner gas cast cooktop; Viking Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer; white porcelain farmhouse sink; granite countertops; abundant natural light & pantry space. MAIN HOUSE UPSTAIRS: 4 bedrooms--two oversized and two medium - along with two full baths, abundant closet space, and a full-height floored attic providing exceptional storage. MAIN HOUSE BASEMENT: Large laundry room featuring folding tables and hanging space; climate-controlled wine cellar with dehumidifier; dedicated workshop and hobby room with shelving, worktables with dehumidifier.

All custom-curated furnishings are available for purchase, allowing the next owner to begin enjoying--or monetizing--the property from day one. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS: THIRD BUILDING: offers a full two-car garage or an ideal space for a home-based business, artist's studio, commercial catering kitchen or bakery, workshop, or creative enterprise. FOURTH SPACE: provides an additional full-size two-car garage, creating rare storage and parking capacity seldom found on historic in-town properties. GROUNDS: custom established gardens, stone walkways, mature trees, hydrangeas, sun and welcome shade, multiple terraces and outdoor gathering spaces invite morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evenings with friends. Custom fountain provides the gentle soundtrack to outdoor living.
