An excellent example of a Federal-Style row home, Brockett House was built by an influential local family, headed by the eldest Robert Brockett, a real estate developer who acquired several lots on the same block now dubbed "Brockett's Row." Historic elements are peppered throughout the house, including high ceilings, decorative fireplaces, and wood flooring. * As you enter the house, you're greeted by a spacious, elegant living room. A separate dining room, adorned with a chandelier and painted a lovely turquoise color, can seat up to 10 guests. The bright, modern kitchen has newer appliances, chic hardware, and a tasteful backsplash. * The second-story master bedroom features a sumptuous king bed and sophisticated decor, plus a newly renovated en-suite bathroom with a freestanding tub, a separate shower, and a washer and dryer. A second large bedroom acts as an expansive suite, boasting a queen bed, a sofa bed, and plenty of space for quiet moments or privacy. The third floor houses a king bedroom as well as a double twin bedroom with a built-in desk that make it ideal for working or distance learning. Full bathrooms are located on both the second and third floors.
