Property Description

Beautiful Historic Italianate Home (ca 1840) with Barn - just a short walk from renowned Downing Park!Situated on just over 1/4 acre on a small quiet side street, this home can easily make you forget you're in a city. It has the feel of a mini estate - with a private driveway (suitable for multiple cars), barn, and surprisingly private & spacious grounds/yard. Entering the charming & classical Italianate home by way of its elegant covered front porch, you are immediately greeted with 19th century charm & details: the original Italianate staircase (entirely unpainted except for the stair risers), the living room & dining room with plaster crown moldings, sliding pocket doors, matching stone fireplace mantels, plaster ceiling medallions, etc. These details continue throughout the home, and are enhanced by many modern updates, utilities, updated kitchen and baths, energy efficient windows & more. The kitchen is light & spacious, with its own breakfast nook nestled in the bay window alcove - and has direct access to the rear deck and yard (great spaces to entertain guests or just enjoy some quiet time). The barn needs a bit of TLC, but has enormous potential to match whatever vision/need you may have for it! All this, and it's just a short walk to Downing Park - and very close to shopping, dining, schools, the waterfront, and all form of transportation. In a City known for its treasure trove of very special homes, this one is still a standout. Don't miss it!
