Exceptional 1889 Victorian offers stunning period details, exquisite original woodwork, 9 foot high ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors with mahogany details, French doors, built-in window seats, a turret room, 2 handsome fireplaces and much more. Ideally situated on a sunny corner lot near Wayland Square, this impressive home has been thoughtfully restored, renovated, and updated by the current owner over the past 22 years. Abundant sunlight floods into the many rooms at all hours of the day through the tall energy efficient replacement windows all around. The flexible flowing layout includes a spectacular entry foyer, a spacious living room, a generous formal dining room with original built-ins, a large updated cook's kitchen, 6 possible bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The entire interior has been freshly painted, the hardwood floors have all been recently refinished or replaced as needed, and much of the lighting has been redone. The single layer roof with architectural shingles is only two years old. The two-car detached garage has two new garage doors and faces Villa Avenue plus there is a second private driveway off of Taber Avenue which provides plenty of additional parking. A beautiful new cedar fence with a gate gives extra privacy for the property and the newly sodded city garden. Wonderful walkable East Side location!
