Step into this one of a kind 1830's Federal style home with all of the incredible colonial touches with the luxury of modern living. This home is nothing short of magical. The oversized foyer greets you with a nook under the stairs and fantastic fireplace. To your left is the living room with a great natural light thanks to the bay window plus a wood burning fireplace, ceiling fan, and gorgeous crown molding. The internal windows of the living room look into an enclosed porch, workshop, or art studio - this space could be anything - the possibilities are endless! Moving through the home you will then find the spacious dining room with a decorative fireplace, built-in storage, and enough space for all of your entertaining needs. The kitchen boasts a Viking stainless 4 burner gas range with hood, carrera marble backsplash, and stainless Bosch dishwasher and refrigerator. To complete the main floor, a large mudroom and laundry area sits at the back of the house with a half bath and access to the back yard and patio. Upstairs, the primary bedroom shines with a wood burning fireplace, recessed lighting, and windows on two sides for a perfect cross breeze. The second bedroom has a ceiling fan and deep window sills for the plant lover. The third bedroom is another great sized bedroom with a cedar closet and the most magical sleeping porch/ sunroom with wall to wall windows attached. Through the oversized hallway on this floor you'll find a full bathroom for the bedrooms and large storage closet. One more floor up you are greeted with a breathtaking space- a loft-like bedroom/studio space room with a vaulted ceiling, incredible natural light with windows on three sides, and a half bath. Glass french doors open onto the roof where a deck could easily be added. The backyard is truly awe-inspiring with lush greens, an in-ground pool, and plenty of room for your imagination to run wild. The beautiful rear gardens include specimen plantings from the Morris Arboretum. This home has a shared driveway and the option to put in a parking pad with enough open space in the backyard to do so. Right next to Vernon Park that has a playground and community gardens, close to public transportation, the yummy Ultimo coffee, and various schools, this home has the perfect balance of being an oasis of lush gardens in the busy city! Call today to see this gem. You will not want to miss this magical home!
