About this home

A rare blend of historic craftsmanship and contemporary design defines this architectural gem. Unit 1 is a 5 bed, 2.5 bath residence that was initially a stand-alone single family spreading across three expansive floors. Rich in original detail; the ground floor showcases four entirely different parquet floor patterns — creating a striking first impression that guests never forget. Period fireplaces, elegant coffered ceilings, and timeless Victorian character are thoughtfully paired with modern updates throughout. The anchor of the first unit is a stunning eat-in kitchen addition built in 2021, simultaneous with the construction of Unit 2. Equipped with Central AC & an open floor plan, the second unit sits as a present-day juxtaposition to the history-filled original structure. This two-family's long list of attractions is rounded out by several outdoor spaces, a long driveway, basement storage and solar panels that are owned outright to help reduce utility bills.
