This magnificent Queen Anne Victorian home is a timeless gem that tells a story of architectural elegance and meticulous preservation. Standing tall as a three-story Victorian masterpiece, it boasts an impressive 4,463 square feet of living space. Built in the year 1890, this historic residence has been lovingly maintained by its current owner, ensuring that every unique detail and architectural flourish remains intact. From the moment you approach the property, you're greeted by distinctively ornate architecture that captures the essence of the Victorian era. Circular windows, gabled roofs, turret, and highly decorative woodwork adorn the exterior, creating a captivating visual feast for the eyes. A stately wrap-around porch invites you to step inside and experience the rich history that lies within. As you walk through the vestibule you will encounter original mosaic tiles and lincrusta wallpaper narrating stories of an era when entryways were a canvas for craftsmanship. Upon entering, you are greeted by an open and airy entryway leading to an elegant staircase with an ornate walnut railing, setting the tone for the grandeur that awaits. The first floor features twin parlors with coved ceilings and large windows that allow natural light to flood the room. The adjoining dining room is equally impressive, featuring coved ceilings and heavy moldings, complemented by functional pocket doors. For those seeking tranquility, a conservatory room beckons, providing the perfect space for a green room. The generously sized kitchen boasts a character of its own, with a butler door (swings both ways) and a convenient back staircase. Furthermore, the Kitchen offers direct access to a laundry room/pantry and to the rear deck where you can sit and relax to enjoy the picturesque landscaping. Ascend the tiger maple front stairs with ornate walnut railings to the second floor, where an inviting landing leads you to the turret room—a versatile space that can serve as a bedroom, an office, or reading room. This floor also hosts a very large bedroom currently utilized as a sitting area, and two other bedrooms including a room that once served as a maid or guest quarters. All rooms on this floor have transom door frames. Venture up to the third floor, and you'll discover three additional rooms, accompanied by a full bathroom. Two of these rooms have been used as bedrooms. The third bedroom is currently being used as an office. This third level offers great potential for an in-law or au pair suite.
