Welcome to this magnificent Victorian gem! This home masterfully blends timeless architectural charm with modern amenities, showcasing classic Victorian-era hallmarks. Step into the welcoming foyer featuring a stunning Chelsea tile fireplace, a graceful bridal staircase, and a striking stained-glass window that set the tone for the rest of the home. Pocket doors and oak paneled wainscoting lead to the light filled living room. The dining room is both sophisticated and inviting, with inlaid wood floors, soaring ceilings and expansive windows. The kitchen is perfect for both daily living and entertaining with granite counter tops, custom cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. The massive sitting area on the 2nd floor leads to 4 generous sized bedrooms offering ample closet space, large windows and wood floors. The versatile 3rd floor can be used as a billiard room, office or an exquisite primary suite, w/a spa-like bath, soaking tub & shower stall. A must see!
