    Volumes of charm in this 1917-built Victorian home in heart of historic New Castle! Appreciate endless water views in this 5BRs/3 bath 3-levels of living home, where earlier-era architecture was preserved and beautifully blended with today~s modern-life amenities.

Walkable to town, shops, cafes and Battery Park. Grand 12 x 10 foyer where rich, dark hardwood floors, ornate millwork, turn staircase and 9-ft.-ceilings welcome you, while exposed radiators, glass door knobs, deep-inset windows and original hardwoods/trim were maintained. Oversized entrance grants access to main area where LR and DR are open to each other, yet have defined space and characteristics. LR boasts wood-burning FP and DR has room for sweeping DR table and multiple chests. Renovated kitchen has contemporary flair!
