    What's special

    This beautiful Victorian home in Sherman Hill with wonderful landscaping is sitting on a double lot and was occupied by the current owners in 1995. It was moved here in 1988, so has a newer foundation and mechanicals. The awesome wrap around front porch and original siding were restored in 2002. The entry hall is stunning with its ornate staircase and 12-foot ceilings. The front parlor and dining room have ornate lighting, original wall stencils, marble and slate fireplace mantles, original pocket doors, and hardwood floors. Additionally, the first floor has a library with original wall stencils, half bath, hot tub room, vintage kitchen, and family room. There are four large bedrooms upstairs, 11-foot ceilings, sitting area, and 4 bath areas. A successful B&B was operated here for almost 2 decades. The basement has a bathroom and kitchen area with two finished additional rooms. The tuck-under garage can accommodate two cars. Contact me to set a time to tour this great historic home.
