One of the block's oldest homes that has over the years been wonderfully enhanced and cared-for. Original home built in 1840, an addition in 1850, then a 20th century addition in 1955. All together they make a delightful home with unique historic architectural detail and all the comforts of the 21st century as well. Examples: The original floors are simply stunning while the kitchen is the latest for the serious cook; the formal dining room offers a true beamed ceiling while the 1955 family room offers a high ceiling with windows on three sides for the natural light we love today. Here's the floor plan: 1st Floor: Enter on the side of the house off the driveway into a roomy entry/cloak room which leads directly to the formal dining room with wood-burning fireplace (chimney now sealed), original beamed ceiling, chair rail and recessed lights; A winding stair leads to the 2nd floor, and a wide arch leads to the broad bright living room at the front of the house with multiple built-ins and front door that is accessed from the front porch; Behind the dining room is the kitchen, a galley kitchen. It's not large. Instead, it is the perfect kitchen in which to cook and bake in that it offers that coveted triangle of sink, oven and refrigerator and miles of quartz counter that the true cook loves: fewer steps and everything at one's fingertips! New gas stove/oven with new exhaust, recesssed lighting, new deep stainless steel sink with garbage disposal, refrigerator/freezer, tons of cabinetry, new dishwasher, red tile floor; and the cook isn't alone, because one wall of the kitchen is open to the large family room, the perfect social connection to whoever is enjoying that large bright room (1955 addition) with wood-burning fireplace; Powder room; Exit to patio. One can also walk from the kitchen into the laundry room with built-in cabinetry, stacked washer and dryer and another convenient exit to the rear patio or to the driveway when bringing in the groceries. 2nd Floor: Main bedroom is large and offers a wall of organized closet/shelving, original beamed ceiling just like the dining room, and a beautiful chest of drawers; Main bath recently renovated with new floor, new sink cabinet, new toilet and shower over tub; 2 more bedrooms filled with natural light, one with a wall of closet, the other with a walk-in closet and both sharing the hall full bathroom with new sink cabinet and lots of newer plumbing. 3rd Floor: 2 bedrooms, one large with built-in cabinets and child's desk and access to attic space, the other smaller but charming; large hall closet.
