Step through the inviting entryway and you're immediately greated by the beautifully maintained original hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and vintage design elements. The heart of the home is the large but seemingly cozy kitchen. Custom cabinetry showcasing age old craftsmanship has been thoughtfully preserved, with white upper cabinets featuring glass-paneled doors, integral lighting and peach-toned lower cabinets, adding a distinctive retro flair. The hardware and leaded glass doors maintain its vintage appeal while polished granite countertops offer both durability and style. At the center, a spacious island with a integrated oven provides ample space for meal preparation while entertaining. Modern matte black pendant lighting adds a striking contrast, while a beautiful breakfast nook bathed in natural light offers tranquil views of the lush garden. Just off the kitchen, a classic butler’s pantry with original cabinetry and countertops provides additional storage and prep space, along with convenient back stair access to the second floor—perfect for enhancing the home’s entertaining potential. The living room exudes warmth with a grand wood-burning fireplace, rich millwork, and large windows that invite natural light to fill the space. A set of French doors open to a sunroom offering a perfect blend of historic charm and cozy elegance. Anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a solid stone mantel, this space is ideal for both quiet evenings and large gatherings. Flanking the fireplace are built-in bookshelves adding both character and storage. Perfect for remote work, a reading space, or even a creative studio, this sunroom invites you to relax while enjoying timeless architectural details in a peaceful setting. The formal dining room, adorned with crown molding and wainscoting, creates the perfect setting for hosting dinner parties or celebrations. A versatile home office, featuring knotty pine paneling, brick flooring, and charming French doors, opens directly to the garden and patio, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living ideal for both work and relaxation. The expansive primary suite offers a private retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and exclusive access to a second-floor roof deck, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or evening breeze. The luxurious ensuite bathroom beautifully incorporates vintage Art Deco charm. Mint green tiles accented with black trim create a timeless design, while a four-piece layout, including a soaking tub, provides a spa-like experience. The second floor hosts three additional generously sized bedrooms, each filled with natural light, along with a beautifully appointed hall bathroom. On the third floor, you’ll find three more bedrooms, including one with ensuite bathroom and another full hall bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot tub, further enhancing the home’s historic character. A partially finished basement offers endless possibilities for additional living space—ideal for a home gym, playroom, media room, or extra storage. Outside, the property transforms into a private sanctuary. Three koi ponds connected by a tranquil, brook-like stream are surrounded by lush, mature landscaping. Thoughtfully designed seating areas provide both peaceful spots for quiet reflection and spacious areas perfect for hosting outdoor gatherings. Nestled on a picturesque tree-lined street, 520 E.
