Town House

Built in 1910

This house is SPECIAL! Don't miss this rarely offered MOVE-IN-READY barrel front limestone townhouse that has been BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED and is located on a picturesque, quiet, tree-lined block right around the corner from Owl's Head Park. From top to bottom, this meticulously maintained house has been loved, cared for and updated. The limestone facade is stunning, and the pretty front garden welcomes you inside.

Upon entry you are greeted with original stained-glass accents, gorgeous woodwork at every turn, original restored entry doors and a layout that lends itself to entertaining and comfortable living. Some of the notable renovations include a Chef's kitchen, 2 Fujitsu Split HVAC Systems, a new roof with covered gutters, new double-paned, double-hung clad wood windows throughout plus upgraded plumbing and electrical, which includes an additional panel.

The parlor floor has soaring 10' foot ceilings, big bay windows, original hand-nailed flooring and light pouring in from multiple exposures . The reconfiguration of the parlor floor offers a spacious living room that leads to a formal dining area extending into an INCREDIBLE Chef's kitchen. This amazing updated space has top-of the line appliances that include a 48" Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, a Blue Star 48" custom color range with 4 burners and French cooktop, a 48" Blue Star stainless steel hood, adjoining wet bar area, and a new Maytag dishwasher. There is an enormous granite island with a stainless steel sink, breakfast bar sitting area, and ample storage. From this perch, you can spend your mornings gazing out into the lush, established garden. The addition of a Brazilian walnut Ipe deck makes hosting and grilling something to enjoy and look forward to! The addition of glass sliders that have replaced the back wall of the home, keeps this kitchen feeling big and bright all day long. It is worth noting that there is custom lighting throughout and a powder room was added for your convenience. Also, there is a windowed pantry in this already fabulous kitchen!

The top floor reveals three bedrooms, including a large primary bedroom (converted from two rooms but easily converted back to its original configuration), a generous second bedroom with lovely light and big windows, and a youth or office size third bedroom with a closet. There is a large custom pass through closet connecting two of the bedrooms. The meticulous condition of the bathroom on this level with its large vanity, new fixtures, custom tile floors and a vented skylight could make anyone a morning person!

For added flexibility, the townhouse includes a recreation-friendly semi-finished windowed basement equipped with a laundry room complete with a new washer/dryer, utility sink, a powder room, and generous storage space. The house has been updated all the way down to the basement where a new furnace, water heater, and updated drainage system for peace of mind can be found. Simply put, this lovingly cared for townhouse is a mix of comfort, charm, and luxury. This is more than a place to live - it's a place to love and call home!
