About this home

Award-winning builder proudly presents a rare, beautifully restored high Victorian Gothic home chronicled for its grace and splendor. Original architectural details artfully remain, including the only known local example of clustered colonette posts adorning the veranda. The interior showcases curved archways, carved mahogany stair banister and newel post, and detailed window trim. White oak Smallbone kitchen with La CornuFe range and mosaic marble tile opens to a dining/great room. Light fixtures and appliances were individually selected with an artist's eye. Sun-filled, the home offers six-inch white oak flooring throughout, stunning renovated baths, and all-new mechanicals with an electric heat pump and Smart home technology. The flexible layout includes a first-floor guest suite with full bath, powder room, and living room with fireplace. The second level boasts three bedrooms, one en-suite, plus a hall bath. The finished third level works as a primary suite, guest suite, or office with full bath and laundry. The detached two-car barn and garage conceal a legal one-bedroom cottage with a private garden. New kitchen, appliances, flooring, heat pump, and renovated bath; ideal for extended family or income. Both structures feature Smart eco-systems controlling security, sound, light, and climate via voice or phone. While away the hours on one of the two porches overlooking the private garden and stone wall. This coveted walk-to-town gem is an investment in loving life here.
