Turn back time in this stately four bedroom Italianate Victorian home encompassed within 0.65 acres of mesmerizing gardens. Explore the thoughtful renovation of the John and Sarah Way house admiring the substantial, decorative brackets under the projecting eaves, the prominent cornice, the hip roof, a squared-off watch detail, the tall, arched windows, a wrap around front porch with artfully beveled, square posts, and the broad moldings and millwork. Appreciate the fir flooring, gas stove fireplace, 10' ceilings on the main level, 9' ceilings on the second level, a gourmet kitchen with a massive center island, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and a separate pantry, new baths with in-floor heating, a large walk-in closet in the primary bedroom, an oversized, second floor laundry, a main floor bedroom and bath, and a massive three car garage. Explore the expansive, perennial gardens, a berry orchard, raised beds, all of which are irrigated with rain water, and the many pondering spaces to enjoy the profusions of the environment. Immerse oneself in the legacy of the Way Family and Way Park, directly across the street.
