About This Home
As of April 2023Welcome to historic 719 East 3rd Avenue! This glorious Queen Anne masterpiece was built in 1898 and has been meticulously restored and updated with no detail overlooked. The discerning buyer will immediately notice the incredible craftsmanship throughout: the windows, trim, doors, and ceilings. Boasting 3041 sf total with an additional 140 sf wine cellar, 105 sf storage room, and 574 sf garage, the Main House is a perfect 2261 sf with stand alone Guest Quarters measuring 780 sf. Entering the Primary Residence from 3rd Avenue, you pass through the original front door, embedded with stain glass, and are met with the original staircase in a grand foyer. Easy to over look but irreplaceable, the ceiling height in this captivating first floor is a major historical element not frequently found in homes downtown. There is an abundance of natural light in the front sitting room, created by the tall leaded glass windows and an original 1800’s Tiffany-stained glass window. This room opens to a lovely dining area which enjoys the ambiance of an original fireplace, now conveniently fired by natural gas. A recessed sitting nook completes this area, perfect for an afternoon reading or quiet meditation overlooking the backyard. The chef’s kitchen dazzles with all high end appliances, including a Professional Viking Range/ Oven and Sub Zero Refrigerator, to name a few appointments. The mud room is adjacent to the kitchen, leading both outdoors as well as to the laundry room and a darling powder room. This area is heated with scrumptious in floor heating. The Main House offers 2 large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The Primary also offers an additional alcove, a small room overlooking the mountains that is perfect for a cold morning coffee, or perhaps a conversion to a nursery or small office. Bonuses include a fully finished attic, complete with hardwoods and baseboard heat, as well as a delightful wine cellar where the historic coal furnace door is a great conversation starter. The guest house offers 780 sf of vaulted ceilings, a large 3/4 bathroom, and a single bedroom. There is a natural gas stove for both heating and ambiance. The original coal track runs from the alley through these quarters, and continues towards the original coal shoot at the Main House. A true one of a kind historic detail that was meticulously restored adding another unique talking point to this home’s story. The 2-car garage is attached to the Guest House and provides separate and private parking for the Main House. There is a 104 sq.ft. storage room outside the garage for gear, as well as a 3rd heated parking spot outside the Guest Quarters. The Property’s grounds are as lovely and well maintained as the house itself. The Property is fully fenced with a mix of wrought iron and wood fencing, and the gardens are robust with lawns, shrubs, perennials and nooks for your outdoor enjoyment. The covered patio has overhead heaters for cooler evenings and a tv to enjoy entertainment right through the late fall. A new hot tub was recently added to ensure every morning or evening can begin or end with a relaxing soak. Other impressive upgrades on the house: AC, heated copper gutters, Solar, two radon mitigations systems, fiber optic cable, and underground utilities. The historical restoration and preservation of this house is remarkable, but the extensive updates in the last decade for 21st century living are equally noteworthy, and in today’s expensive remodeling market, priceless. An historic gem of this nature may not be for everyone, but for those who understand and appreciate the irreplaceable nature of a home with this history, character and this level of high end restoration… well, simply look no further. You have found the one in a million property.
