About this home
Step into something truly special. This gorgeous, oversized Victorian sits on a stunning brick road, a rare piece of history from a time when streets were built by hand to last for generations. From the moment you arrive, you feel it. Character, presence, and a home that simply cannot be replicated today. Inside, original millwork immediately captures your attention, paired with soaring 11.5-foot ceilings and beautifully preserved hardwood floors. Victorian-style chandeliers and lighting carry the charm throughout, while natural light pours in through windows accented with original wood shutters. The layout blends timeless design with everyday function. The dining room features glass-paneled wood doors, including a French door that opens into the first-floor family room, creating a natural and inviting flow. Tucked beneath the staircase, you will find a unique under-stair storage space that adds both charm and practicality, while first-floor laundry brings convenience right where you need it. The main level family room offers a warm and comfortable setting with a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for quiet evenings or gathering. Upstairs, an additional bedroom also features its own wood-burning fireplace, and the bathroom is highlighted by beautiful stained glass that adds a one-of-a-kind touch. The third floor is dedicated to a massive primary bedroom, offering a private retreat with space to truly unwind. Step outside and the experience continues. A welcoming front deck with a classic porch swing invites you to slow down and take it all in. The fully fenced 0.66-acre yard is surrounded by ornate metal fencing with a grand entry gate, and a brick driveway that carries the character of the home throughout the property. And then there is the extra space. A large detached bar and home theater building complete with electric, air conditioning, wood-burning stove, and projector screen. Whether you are hosting, relaxing, or creating your own escape, this space opens the door to endless possibilities. This is more than a home, it is a rare opportunity to own something with history, charm, and a feeling you need to experience in person. Schedule your private showing and see what makes this property so unforgettable.
