This sweet, historic home (circa 1810), is a rare treat. Very few homes in Old Town are single family homes, and rarely do they have the patio space. The front and rear gardens have been exquisitely redesigned with lush landscaping, bricks, and a huge pergola in the back. Every window from inside offers gorgeous views of greenery. This home is delightful.
The side door leads to the living room with original wood floors and a lined fireplace. The floors continue through the dining room that has a good- sized closet and faux fireplace. The kitchen was gutted over the years to make way for a beautiful kitchen with slate-looking tile floors, a large pantry and a tall, slim Bosch refrigerator. The kitchen opens to the beautiful back patio that is totally private.
The stairs to the second floor have sisal carpeting leading to the master bedroom with tons of closet space and a built-in cabinet. The cozy second bedroom has one small closet and a large custom cabinet. The bright marble bath is small, but lovely.
The washer and dryer are accessed via exterior steps and includes more storage space. There are options for moving the W/D indoors. There are architectural drawings to expand the back of the house over the kitchen which would include another bathroom, storage closet, washer and dryer and how much larger second bedroom. It was approved by the BAR, but new approval would be needed.
This wonderful home is surrounded by beautiful homes, including the famous Spite House just across the street. It truly is a special home. LOCATION. LOCATION.
