This meticulously and lovingly restored residence delivers bespoke craftsmanship at every turn — soaring coffered ceilings, intricate paneling, and spandrel fretwork found only in the most exquisite of homes. The formal entry foyer welcomes you with original built-in benches, complete with their original leather seats and brass tacks, alongside exquisitely detailed millwork and a striking unglazed red clay quarry-tile fireplace — the first of three in the home. That same sophistication carries into the grand Dining Room, where you'll find integrated storage in the built-ins flanking the fireplace. Dine in the present while the fretwork, millwork, and period details speak to a bygone era. The spacious Living Room continues the story with its own coffered ceilings, the third fireplace, an original stained-glass window, and a gorgeous round nook — the perfect spot for a chess table or a cozy reading corner. The expansive kitchen roots us in 2026 with unending quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a vented induction cooktop and a massive island. French doors open onto a mahogany deck designed for privacy — ideal for a quiet morning coffee, afternoon break, or unwinding in the golden-hours. Custom milled paneling flanks the roomy staircase, escorting you to the second floor's 4 spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a private dressing room and ensuite bath featuring a glass shower. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms each offer their own charm, one of which includes a built-in window seat with storage. The 4th bedroom is perfectly suited for a home office, nursery or guest room. On the third floor, a versatile lounge and 5th bedroom await under vaulted ceilings and skylights — a wonderful separate retreat for creative pursuits, guests, or simply a private lounge. Do you want room to grow, entertain, and simply breathe? Set on a coveted double lot (11,250 sq ft), the grounds are just as impressive as the home itself: a lush front lawn, pea stone patio, multiple garden spaces, expansive mahogany deck, and newly built masonry walls create endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. A dual-access driveway and oversized custom shed complete the offering. And for those who want peace of mind? Every major system has been thoughtfully reimagined — electrical, plumbing, windows, kitchen, baths, exterior, roof, decks, and landscaping. This isn't just a home. It's a statement.
