About This Home
As of July 2019Happy energy permeates every inch of this vintage in-town home playfully dubbed Watermelon Cottage. On a long-loved little lane just off Nassau Street, it's rare to encounter a single-family residence with all of its original features intact and even more uncommon to have three private parking spaces, no shuffling of cars required! A glass vestibule opens up to the foyer, where period woodwork and extra-large windows are on full display. Pocket doors glide between the living room and dining room with an adjoining reading nook. Even though the eat-in kitchen has been updated with granite, it still feels like the right spot to whip up some of Grandma's handed-down recipes. A pantry/mudroom leads to a secret garden, partially shaded and totally enclosed. A full bathroom can be found on all three floors. There are five bedrooms total, including the versatile 2-room master. A laundry/craft room with an unexpected deck is situated on the second floor, leaving the finished basement devoted to fun and games and casual hangouts, wet bar included!
