Description

A rare blend of historic craftsmanship and contemporary design defines this architectural gem complete with an attached accessory dwelling unit. The main house is a 5 bed, 2.5 bath residence spreading across three expansive floors that is rich in original detail. The ground floor showcases four entirely different parquet floor patterns — creating a striking first impression that guests never forget. Period fireplaces, elegant coffered ceilings, and timeless Victorian character are thoughtfully paired with modern updates throughout. The anchor of the home is a stunning eat-in kitchen addition built in 2021, simultaneous with the construction of the ADU. 5 years young and equipped with Central AC & an open floor plan, the ADU sits as a present-day juxtaposition to the history-filled initial structure. This property’s long list of attractions is rounded out by multiple outdoor spaces, a long driveway, basement storage and solar panels that are owned outright to help reduce utility bills.
