Built in 1889, this 6-bedroom, 4.1-bath Victorian begins with a gracious entry foyer featuring intricately carved wood details including a built-in window seat, gorgeous hardwood floors with mahogany detailing, and an original tile ceiling. The south-facing living room with an exquisite tiled fireplace is flooded with abundant sunlight through the splendid bay window with oversized windows and seamlessly flows into a cozy family room and convenient powder room. The generous dining room leads to a spacious cook’s kitchen which spans the back of the home with newly painted white cabinetry, stainless appliances, expansive granite counters, and a large breakfast area with a decorative cast iron stove. The versatile second floor offers a delightfully sunny sitting room with a bay window and another gorgeous tiled fireplace, plus 3 other possible bedrooms and a large recently updated family bath. The third floor provides additional living space for bedrooms or offices, some with great city views, a bathroom, and a laundry room. The lower level has a finished 1-bed, 2-bath apartment with its own laundry. Approved zoning allows for a second living unit – a perfect use for the charming carriage house at the rear of the property.
