About this home

An outstanding example of Victorian architecture, this meticulously restored Queen Anne is sited on 1/4-acre corner lot. Built in 1885, the covered front and back porches with spindle railings, pitched roof lines, and traditional clapboard and fish scale siding in period-accurate colors all add to the appeal. Gut renovated inside and out in the past few years, the charm of the home has been maintained yet the systems and amenities are upgraded to modern standards. “Oh wow” features include intricately carved woodwork, stained glass windows, 9’ ceilings, beautifully appointed eat-in kitchen with Wolf gas range and Sub Zero fridge, and the most functionally designed mudroom you’ve ever seen! There are 4 finished floors with 9 rooms, 4 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths. Central air, 2-car garage, beautifully landscaped fenced yard. Heat and A/C, plumbing, electric, roof, and windows are all less than 5 years old. This home must be seen to appreciate the quality, livability, and beauty.
