A paragon of history and charm in the North End. This home had been in the same family since 1920!! Purchased by a second family in 2006 followed by a flawless renovation in 2009. This 6 bedroom 4 bathroom single family home was taken down to the core while carefully preserving the charisma of an early 20th century beach house. New plumbing (including outside sewer line), windows, electric wiring with replica bush-button switches, multi-zoned HVAC heating and cooling, wi-fi, custom sound system, intercom, lawn irrigation system (on a separate meter), outside shower, custom built-in mstr. bedroom suite, and master bath, spray foam insulation thru out the entire shell of the structure, new drywall with rounded corners (as was found in vintage buildings), a custom made EXACT REPLICA of the original front porch/railing fabricated from Aztec and marine grade mahogany (No painting!), new roof on the house and garage in 2019. A dedicated electric circuit in garage for electric car charging. This is essentially "new construction" without the generic builder look that has taken over the shore towns. On the main floor has the original hardwood floors with a contrasting wood inlay border, new kitchen with professional appliances, honed black marble counter-tops (to mimic soapstone but without the maintenance) surrounded by custom cabinetry. The adjoining dining room and living room serve as comfortable gathering spaces. The top two floors consist of 5 bedrooms with 3 full bathrooms (all with radiant heated floors) making this home perfect as a primary /secondary residence. Ground floor consists of a large family room with radiant heated floor, along with a custom built entertainment center, perfect for kids and teens to have fun while off the beach. There is an additional bedroom and a full bathroom. Much of the elegant but unpretentious furniture can be negotiated with sale. One block from the beach, ample off street parking and low taxes make this the ideal home. There are not many of these time-honored houses left on the island. A home with history!
