About This Home

Built in 1904 & thoughtfully expanded by 20' on all four levels, this extraordinary home was renovated down to the studs. It is a true labor of love where historic character has been meticulously preserved & seamlessly blended w/ today's finest craftsmanship, systems, and amenities. Original millwork, hardware, fixtures, and architectural details were carefully restored wherever possible, with every renovation choice made in respect to the home's soul & modern living.The gracious foyer features an original leaded-glass window,white pressed-tin ceiling, restored corner cabinet, deep guest closet, & clever pull-out storage beneath the stairs. Original bronze cast doorknobs & plates, handrails, & fluted newel posts-stripped & refinished-tell the home's story. Hickory prefinished floors flow t/o, complemented by a custom-milled hickory staircase handcrafted by local carpenter Teodoro Bros. At the heart of the home is a true country kitchen w/ custom Vida soft-close cabinetry and a stunning 14-foot island with grayed cabinetry, white quartz, prep sink, seating for 5, glass lantern pendants, & crossed millwork panels. A one-of-a-kind farmhouse pantry showcases Cremone bolt & barrel hardware. Premium Thermador appliances include a 6-burner gas range w/ pot filler. Check out the glass subway tile, stainless farm sink, bronze mesh cabinet fronts, plate rack & spice & oil pull-outs flanking the range. The expansive dining area is ideal for gatherings & accented by a vintage-inspired candelabra chandelier and horizontal windows. The family room offers three walls of windows, a fireplace with authentic late-1800s cast-iron facade, granite mantel, glass doors to the deck, and a polished nickel and crystal drum chandelier. A formal dining room off the foyer features a leaded-glass transom and suspended bronze chandelier with pillar candles. The main level also includes a guest bedroom with alcove, a beautifully appointed full bath with Rohl faucet embossed floor-to-ceiling shower tile, and ideal mudroom/drop zone with stainless utility sink, floor-to-ceiling cubbies, charging station, built-in pet crate, and deck access. Two staircases lead to the second floor, where a dreamy primary suite offers a boutique-style walk-in closet and spa-caliber bath with Restoration Hardware double vanity, white quartz counters, copper-patina plumbing, freestanding tub, & oversized shower with rain head and handheld spray. Bedrooms 2 & 3 boast generous closets and an alcove for toys or home worker. They are served by a sleek hall bath with dual quartz vanities and separate water closet with jetted tub. A second-floor laundry center provides exceptional functionality with cabinets, counter, double racks, supply closet and ironing space, while the wide hallway allows space for bookcases or display nooks. The charming third floor features a large bedroom with dormered ceiling, walk-in closet, dedicated HVAC, and an expansive bonus room ideal for recreation, fitness, office space plus a cozy window seat. Completed in late 2025, the finished basement is exceptional, featuring a sunken media room with built-ins & exposed ceiling. The bar area is wrapped in reclaimed beverage-crate planks, incorporates the home's former radiator as the bar face, and is finished with crystal drop lighting & butcher-block bar top. Masterfully painted concrete floors extend through the bar, workshop, and machine shop. A steampunk-inspired bath features a hammered copper sink in an antique barrel, exposed copper piping, pressed-copper ceiling, and bank-vault door concealing storage. The workshop offers long counters and ample storage, while the adjacent machine shop retains an original brick wall. Since 2019, all major systems & structure have been replaced. The original wood exterior remains, enhanced with insulation and LP siding. A detached four-car garage can accommodate up to six vehicles with a lift. Ideally located across from the library & just a short walk to town
