Offered for the first time in a generation! This lovingly cared-for 1897 residence is an unspoiled example of Victorian Shingle Style architecture, most notably featuring a myriad of visually interesting roof and window shapes that enhance the home's exterior lines. Porthole and unique accent windows, an unparalleled floor-to-ceiling domed window, and a diamond-grid tower window reminiscent of a castle add to this home's wonderful natural light. Other authentic design elements include decorative doorknobs, period wallpaper, hardwood floors, solid wood doors, and pocket doors. From the airy covered porch, enter the elegant front hall, with its wide pocket door, L-shaped staircase, and decorative windows. The floor plan of the first level features a functional design with large rooms (and 9 ft. ceilings!) that flow into one other. A lovely mantel with a gas fireplace provides a focal point for the spacious living room. The den is adjacent, with a pocket-door entry, built-in shelves, a window seat, and a half bathroom. Flowing from the living room, a formal dining room leads to the kitchen, updated with such practical features as stainless-steel appliances, plentiful cabinet space, display shelving, a desk area, and a breakfast bar peninsula with an additional sink and water filtration system. The second floor has four generously sized bedrooms, each with a closet, and a uniquely designed full bathroom. Three of the four bedrooms have wood floors (condition unknown) under the carpets, and each bedroom is distinguished by a unique window style. Imagine waking up in the front bedroom, starting your day by taking in the eastern hillside through the iconic floor-to-ceiling windows. The full bathroom has a clawfoot tub, stall shower, and a pedestal sink. An unexpected feature is a separate dressing room with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a second pedestal sink. From the hallway, walk up to the large gabled attic, unfinished but ready for your vision. A back staircase leads from the second floor to the kitchen, then down to the basement or out the back door. The freshly painted basement has laundry, defined storage rooms, and a workbench, with utilities including a new gas furnace in 2018. The large lot includes a secluded dining patio, a two-bay detached garage, and a large private back yard, with mature gardens, a fishpond with waterfall, and a cozy summerhouse for reading, writing, or napping. The newer roof with 50-year architectural shingles has a transferable warranty. Take the video tour to experience this distinctive home's special features.
