Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully preserved turn-of-the-century Victorian home, where classic architectural charm meets everyday comfort. This spacious 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence showcases rich hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and exquisite period details throughout.
The inviting main level features a gracious living room centered around a vintage fireplace, flanked by built-in bookshelves with glass doors, and highlighted by a stunning bay window. A large formal dining room is bathed in warm southern light, perfect for gatherings. Just off the kitchen and dining area, a walk-in butler’s pantry adds both character and convenience. A well-placed first-floor half bath enhances functionality. A grand entry foyer welcomes you from the expansive front porch and leads to a distinctive double staircase—accessible from both the foyer and kitchen—ascending to the second-floor landing. The staircase is adorned with a classic detailed banister, exemplifying the home’s historic craftsmanship.
Upstairs, you’ll find a generously sized primary bedroom along with two additional bedrooms, one of which offers direct access to a rooftop overlook above the garage—an ideal spot for relaxing or enjoying the view. A full bath serves the second floor. An expansive walk-up attic with high ceilings and a steep roofline offers incredible potential for future finishing or storage. The partially finished basement adds extra usable space, while key mechanical updates include a newer boiler and water heater. The home is topped with architectural shingles and newer sheathing underlayment for added peace of mind.Completing the property is a detached 2-car garage and an unbeatable location—just one block from East Ave Wegmans, with shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences all within easy walking distance. This is a rare opportunity to own a stunning Victorian home that perfectly blends historic beauty with modern livability.
