Property 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.
