RENOVATED DOWNTOWN HOME

Not too big, not too small, this welcoming downtown home is just right for old house lovers with an appreciation for original detail seamlessly fused with modern creature comforts. Dating back to 1885, an extensive renovation over the past 5 years has resulted in a rich blend of classic features and an open floor plan suited to today’s lifestyles. A wide front porch is just the spot to read the mail and hail the neighbors as they pass by on foot and bike heading to all the cool places nearby.

Take a minute to admire the antique front door before crossing the threshold. The sunny living and dining room flow together with an ornamental fireplace anchoring the center of the space. Wainscot lines the lower walls while Georgian wreath moldings ornament the ceiling. It’s an easy job to convert the fireplace to gas if that’s on your wish list!

Opening to the dining room courtesy of a large pass-through, the kitchen comes in two parts. The galley portion has marble countertops, tin ceiling, restored gas light fixtures and egg and dart molding. The gourmet gas range w/pot filler and refrigerator are in the adjoining room along with a pre-Civil War corner cabinet used as a pantry.

The laundry room is right across from the 3/4 bathroom with travertine shower and vessel sink set on an antique vanity with honed black marble top. From here it’s two steps out to the 320SF deck and on to patios and garden.

Upstairs the master’s quarters are at the front. A generous room with a sitting alcove (or micro-office) and a private porch, this is a sweet retreat at day’s end. A two-tier tray ceiling sets off the vintage chandelier and making for a lofty feel. The bathroom is accessed from both master and hall for use by the second bedroom. With a jetted clawfoot Jacuzzi and an 1800s vanity with vessel sink and French oak mirror it has an elegant ambiance. 2nd bedroom has a richly hued wood ceiling and a private treetop porch.

Dust off the walking shoes – it’s all at your fingertips!
