Description

Custom built about 1892 for a prominent Chatham family, this Victorian era Queen Anne glows with Old World charm while offering many of today’s modern amenities. A magnificent porch lures you to take a step back in time. Upon entering you will find fascinating vintage features including a dramatic staircase, stained and leaded glass windows and original fireplaces.
The front-to-back living room is enhanced by a large bay window, exquisite molding details and a fireplace with a gorgeous period mantel. The same details found in the living room continue to the dining room which offers a wonderful atmosphere for entertaining. A butler’s pantry equipped with a wet bar and cabinets leads to the kitchen with stainless appliances and abundant counters topped with granite. Also found here is the mud room with a powder room.
The second level has three bedrooms, each with hardwood floors and ample closet space. A full bath and a walk-in closet complete this level. The third floor presents more personal space in two additional bedrooms and another full bath.
Situated on prestigious Fairmount Avenue this wonderful home is only .03 miles to downtown and the train station with Midtown Direct trains.
