This Victorian home with Spanish Revival, Dutch Colonial, and early Craftsman influences is an architectural marvel. Built in 1911, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Thoughtfully renovated over the years, it perfectly marries historic charm and modern convenience. This move-in ready gem has approximately 2,500 square feet with 3-4 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths. It boasts original hardwood floors, high ceilings, extensive moulding, five working fireplaces, three sets of working pocket doors, ceiling fans throughout, original French doors (two with transom windows), plantation shutters, and original wavy glass windows, doors, door hardware, and light fixtures. But don’t let the historic charm fool you. This home has been updated where it matters. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully renovated. It has a newer roof, air conditioner and ductwork, water heater, electrical, and plumbing as well as new water and electrical meters and an installed security system with Vivint security doorbells. It is surprisingly open concept for the period. The Craftsman-inspired glass front door opens to a formal living room with large windows and fireplace with gas logs. To the right through pocket doors is a formal library with fireplace, window seat, and built-in storage that historically served as a third bedroom. Beyond the living room through pocket doors is a formal dining room with Victorian fireplace and direct access to a lovely screened porch. Beyond the dining room is the show-stopping kitchen with huge windows overlooking a brick patio and koi pond. This chef’s kitchen boasts modern stainless steel appliances and lighting, gas stovetop, double ovens, pristine white solid surface countertops, new cabinetry, a dedicated pantry, and an L-shaped bar. Open to the kitchen is the family room with wet bar, built-in wine rack, and beverage center. French doors lead to the deck and backyard. A second French door serves as one of three side entrances to the home. Just off the family room is a large laundry room with shelving and full-size Bosch washer and dryer that can remain. This could also be used as an informal fourth bedroom since it adjoins the home’s second full bath with walk-in shower. On the other side of the home is the master bedroom with fireplace, large windows, twin closets, and direct access to the open side porch. The master bath is lovely with extensive travertine tile, brass accents, antique vanity, and antique soaking tub with hand shower that could easily be converted to a traditional shower. Across a small alcove from the master is the second bedroom with large windows and window treatments that stay, fireplace, and small closet. Across the hall is a convenient half bath. This home provides many opportunities for outdoor living. There are large twin porches on either side—an open porch off the master, and a screened porch off the dining room. Behind the screened porch is a quaint brick patio encircled by a working koi pond with a charming bridge leading to the side yard. Off the back of the home is a large deck overlooking the expansive backyard. Out back is a workshop with electricity, water, motion detection lights, ample workspace, cabinets, and extensive shelving for tools and supplies. It could easily serve as a detached garage or modest rental unit. There is an attached fenced dog run. The home sits on 0.62 acre with a fully fenced backyard and room to add a detached garage or pool. The front yard, which boasts original brick walkways and lush, colorful plantings, overlooks a dedicated greenspace across Gaskin Avenue that makes the property feel open and spacious yet private. Parking is plentiful. There are three off-street parking areas that accommodate three cars each. Virtually unlimited on-street parking is available on Gaskin Avenue.
