Description

Lovingly cared for, vintage, brick rowhouse in a quaint location. This landmark structure, built in 1894, was designed by the famed architect, Stephen Alston Jennings. This home encompasses both form and function with a flair for comfort, style and practicality. The double arched front entrance is welcoming, and the custom Trex Composite front staircase and porch have a pleasing appearance and is maintenance free. A classic vestibule guides into the parlor with a conveniently located powder room close by. Premium hardwood floors throughout. Get cozy with the living room fireplace. A well-equipped, updated kitchen, with generous, high-quality, walnut cabinetry, granite counter tops and an eat-in area as well as a formal dining room within proximity. Following the classic oak staircase the second level is equipped with four generous bedrooms including a primary en-suite and a full family bath. Continuing to the third level is a completely private area with a full bath, separate bedroom and a spacious living room area. Cathedral ceilings and skylights with an ornately crafted window pattern to provide additional light. A loft is another half flight up and integrated into the 3rd level. Presently used as an office there are endless possibilities. The basement offers extraordinary storage possibilities. The back deck is spacious with access to the garage and an additional fenced parking spot and yard, providing convenience and security.
