About this home
Timeless architecture and modern refinement come together in this beautifully restored Victorian residence, offering six bedrooms, four full baths and one half bath. Thoughtfully updated while honoring its original character, the home showcases exceptional craftsmanship, gracious proportions and distinctive period details throughout. A grand mahogany front porch opens to a classic center hall framed by formal living and dining rooms and a gracious parlor. Soaring ceilings, intricate original woodwork and moldings, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors speak to the home's rich architectural heritage. The renovated kitchen pairs custom cabinetry and granite countertops with stainless steel appliances, while each of the bathrooms has been tastefully updated with timeless finishes. The expansive primary suite features a private renovated en-suite bath, while five additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, home offices and more. An updated basement extends the living space, and central air conditioning on the first floor provides added comfort. A charming back staircase, covered porte-coch re and circular driveway further distinguish the property. Rich in character yet thoughtfully enhanced for today's lifestyle, this exceptional Victorian offers a rare blend of historic elegance and modern comfort.
