The stunning 1849 Crawford Bell House is on the market after years of thorough investment and painstaking improvements. Pre-Civil War grandeur, with unparalleled updates driven by professional designers for both your now and your future. A clear sense of the Victorian era flawlessly combines with 21st century normalcy - a glamorous and cozy home. Such is the power of timeless architecture and forward-leaning design decisions rooted in the home's history. Upon entry, you’ll center immediately on the home’s floor-plan - generous for everyday living and open for comfortable entertaining. The front room with expansive light allows for large seating arrangements, while the dining room opens like a state visit. The luxury kitchen - a studs-out renovation designed by Hilary Denton of Vintage Forward Designs and constructed by Popham Construction - saw the removal of a back staircase to open the kitchen area and create additional storage on the 2nd level. The proof is in the pudding - a fully functional gathering space perfect for calm conversation, sampling wine over music, or the culinary creations from a simple pizza night or to the works of a master chef. The family room off the kitchen works well as a TV room, based on proximity to the kitchen, while the room’s rich coffered wood ceiling presents numerous other design inspirations for a multitude of potential uses. Upstairs, the main-suite is a remarkable achievement of form and function in a historic home, with separate vanities, copper soaker tub, walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms rest at the front of the home’s second level, with one on-suite. A fourth bedroom at the rear of the second level can easily serve as a guest suite with full bath adjacent, or is perfect for a home office and work-out room, walking out to the sun deck above the attached garage. On the home’s third story, a bonus room with the home’s 5th full bathroom serves as an ample guest space or additional entertaining area. From 5 bedroom areas to 5 full bathrooms, the home presents itself as a true achievement in both history and the future of a lifestyle. Welcome to Southeast First Street. Welcome home.
