About this home
With a perfect blend of historic charm and modern updates, this extraordinary 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath Italianate masterpiece offers both a rich past and an exciting future as your next home. Set gracefully back from the street, the 1.46-acre corner lot showcases a welcoming asphalt circular driveway, and an impressive 38-foot open front porch-an ideal spot to relax on a porch swing and enjoy peaceful afternoons. Step inside the grand foyer, where a striking curved staircase makes a memorable first impression. Throughout much of the home, you'll find newly refinished hardwood floors, complemented by new carpet on both staircases and the upper level. Thoughtfully updated with new windows (2020) and fresh interior paint in tasteful, modern tones, the home retains its timeless elegance with exquisite crown molding and detailed woodwork rarely found today. Comfort and peace of mind come standard with a radon mitigation system, a $10,000 water filtration system, and an upgraded heating system (2023) with a SensiSmart thermostat. Dual central air units provide efficient, customizable climate control for both floors, while updated wiring and 200-amp electrical service ensure reliability. All bathrooms have been updated within the past decade, including the main-floor primary suite, which features a walk-in closet and private en suite bath. The beautifully updated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring granite countertops, a Jenn-Air range, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient wet bar-perfect for coffee or cocktails. Two separate dining areas and an attached main-floor laundry room with abundant storage add to the home's functionality. Just off the kitchen, a spacious enclosed porch offers a serene setting to unwind with a glass of tea. Multiple living spaces provide flexibility and warmth, anchored by three stunning, ornate fireplaces-perfect for cozy evenings. Upstairs, you'll discover a charming library nook and a sun-filled bonus room, ideal as a home office, studio, or retreat.
