Western Section neighbors have watched with eager anticipation as this gracious 1848 Colonial was restored over the course of two years. With a prominent spot along the most admired stretch of Library Place, everyone can appreciate the enhanced exterior, now clad in DURATION poly-ash siding with new roof, windows, and mahogany porches, but few have seen how the interior’s best original features were revived and complemented by countless improvements. Sun-splashed rooms extending from the grand center hall made this project worth the effort and expense. New wide-plank oak floors join tall pocket doors in the living room and family room, both sized to host any occasion, celebratory or intimate. While numerous French doors encourage gatherings to spill outdoors, the dining room goes even further to highlight the pretty setting. It is completely wrapped in glass for unencumbered views of the partially shaded yard and bluestone-edged pool. With a preferred semi-open layout, the kitchen, too, peeks out at the poolscape. Glass-front cabinetry, chef-approved appliances and new quartz countertops are a combination that will serve beautifully for years to come. A custom outfitted laundry room and a powder room with a dash of glam hint at the level of finish for four new bathrooms upstairs. Follow the cupola-lit three story staircase to a selection of nine rooms, some of them full suites with walk-in closets, which allow the private upper levels to function as you see fit. A corner room with a fireplace makes an ideal office or sitting room beside the main suite, which boasts a slipper tub, rain shower and detailed tilework within its marble bath. A bonus room on the newly air conditioned top floor may be the site of fun-filled sleepovers now, then down the road, a quiet artist’s studio. As it has done for the past 175 years, this house will continue to evolve gracefully.
