Set back from historic Adams Street is this comfortable, multi-period house, the core of which is Federal and retains a good amount of period detail. Over the years structural additions and decoration in Victorian and turn-of-the-century styles were incorporated, most notably in 1887 with a major remodeling by architect John Fox. There are antique Delft tile fireplace surrounds, original wide plank wood floors, antique glass window panes, a skylight in the master bath, a cedar lined attic room and a curved, brick-paved breezeway from the carriage-house style garage. A screened side porch offers a leafy retreat or area for summer dining. Open plan kitchen with morning sun-filled bay window has stainless appliances. Mature trees, including evergreens and an ancient horse chestnut tree, ring the property. Expansive front lawn, shaded back yard with gardens and brick patio for entertaining. Ideally situated, close to shopping and restaurants, this unique property could be your home.
