Description

Elegant rooms with original woodwork, tall ceilings and big windows make for a comfortable setting. Updated kitchen with adjoining pantry makes cooking and preparation easy. Large dining room allows for dining up to 10. Office/Library on main floor makes for great work-from-home arrangement. Large entry way makes for a dramatic and stately introduction. Living room has bumped-out sunroom that is wonderful for relaxing and reading a book during any season. Updated bathrooms with tile floors and jet-tub. Large bedrooms accommodate King-sized beds and plenty of furniture - no new home can match this. Patio right off the kitchen and terraced / landscaped yard makes for a very private outdoor room - yet just a block from downtown festivals, businesses & churches.


Stately Italianate brink home has solid bones and unique details. Additions over the years enclosed porches to accommodate more living space and bathrooms, but done in such a way that it seems to be a part of the whole and not an after-thought. Brick was tuck-pointed in 2008 so it has been restored for strength & appearance. Home is built on a terraced lot (Think San Francisco), with the street level being below the home level and the back yard a terrace up from the home level. The house-level creates a very private setting and a natural sight-line difference that makes enjoying the patio easy and free of distractions or unwanted guests. The sandstone retaining wall in the front and the foundation slabs were all cut locally of the same stone that lined the canals in the area in the early-1800's. Home sits up high and gets great cross breezes.

Large carriage barn has access from alley and has three car spaces and plenty of storage. Well-maintained house and garage since I bought the home in 1996. Always keep up on painting and winterizing in order to protect the integrity of the historic structure.

This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "I am near everything in my community. If I can't get to ut by walking or driving, the bus is on its first stop in my area and starts at 8am. This area isn't to bad but I would nit recommend my apartments to anyone. They are invested with drugs, bugs and and slum lords. But the houses and area around are very decent."
