College Hill Colonial, Near the Park, with Main Floor Primary Ensuite Addition. Celebrating its 100th Birthday this year! Just a short stroll from College Hill Park, this 1.5-story Colonial invites you into a home where craftsmanship, character, and thoughtful updates blend seamlessly. From the moment you arrive, the details begin to speak. The signature front porch lantern, once hanging in the historic Orpheum decades ago, casts a warm welcome. An old-fashioned doorbell announces guests the way homes used to, and a family crest in the stained glass window hints at the heritage within. Inside, hardwood floors stretch across the main living spaces, framed by classic bottom shutters and an art deco–inspired fireplace surround that anchors the living room with timeless elegance. The dining room, illuminated by its vintage chandelier, feels ready for long dinners and lingering conversations. Just beyond, an efficient office with built-in shelving offers the perfect reading retreat. The kitchen sits conveniently at the dining room entrance and is supported by a generous food storage pantry with wired shelving. Main floor laundry adds everyday ease. In 2014, a thoughtfully designed main floor primary suite addition transformed the livability of this home. The spacious bedroom offers direct wheelchair access to the deck and additional access to the driveway. The generously sized closet provides abundant storage, and the spa-inspired bath features zero-entry marble floors, safety bars, a heat light, an antique vanity topped with granite, and a beveled mirror that feels both classic and refined. Perfect for generational living! Upstairs, three bedrooms with wood floors offer charm and versatility. The full bath features distinctive tile accented by a Greek key border, while the art deco stairwell light adds a nostalgic architectural touch. The basement recreation room serves well for hobbies, and offers tiled flooring and extensive shelving, ideal for storage or creative projects. Outdoors, birdbaths invite feathered visitors, and mature trees provide welcome summer shade. The deck is accessible and welcoming, extending living space into the backyard. A detached two-car garage completes the property with practicality. This is more than a house—it’s a piece of College Hill history, lovingly adapted for modern living while preserving the details that make it unforgettable.
