This circa-1810 gem is one of Old Town's rarest offerings - a detached historic home with extraordinary private outdoor spaces rarely found in the area. The front and rear gardens have been beautifully reimagined with lush landscaping, elegant brick hardscaping, and an expansive pergola that transforms the rear patio into a secluded urban retreat. Nearly every window frames picturesque views of greenery, giving the home a sense of warmth, charm, and tranquility throughout. The side entrance opens into a welcoming living room featuring original hardwood floors and a charming fireplace. The hardwoods continue into the dining room, which includes a generous closet and a decorative faux fireplace that adds character and architectural interest. Over the years, the kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated to combine historic charm with modern functionality. Features include tile flooring, a large pantry, and a sleek, space-saving, tall Bose refrigerator. A large door opens directly onto the stunning rear patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining space with exceptional privacy. The staircase to the second level is finished with classic sisal carpeting and leads to the spacious primary bedroom, complete with abundant closet space and custom built-in cabinet. The second bedroom is cozy and bright, offering both a closet and an additional large, custom storage cabinet. The marble bathroom is compact yet beautifully finished and filled with natural light. The washer and dryer are currently accessed via exterior stairs and offer additional storage space. The current owner has architectural drawings - previously approved by the Board of Architectural Review, subject to one minor roof-height modification - to expand the rear of the home over the kitchen. The proposed addition would create a significantly larger second bedroom, an additional bathroom, interior laundry, and additional storage space. Surrounded by some of Old Town's most iconic homes, including the famed Spite House, this truly special residence offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of history with exceptional outdoor living and future expansion potential.
