Description

This grand lady in the much sought-after Baker Park neighborhood blends the wonderful elements of days gone by with all the modern conveniences of today. While the plaster walls, chestnut trim and doors, pine floors, first-floor windows (with original glass) and exterior shutters have been restored to their 1910 glory, the rest is thoroughly 2025. Just off the large wrap-around Front Porch is a spacious Foyer with a unique stairway that sets the tone for the character and craftsmanship seen throughout the home. Large windows bring in abundant natural light, nine-foot ceilings and a decorative corner fireplace make the Living Room a welcoming place to relax. In the separate Dining Room a roomy bay window adds extra space and light. An entertainer's delight, the Kitchen has touches of exposed brick and is outfitted with Shaker-style cabinets, stainless appliances and a farmhouse sink. An expansive island created from chestnut doors left over from the 2020 renovation and an original ceiling-height corner cupboard evoke the past. A walk-in Pantry, Coatroom and Powder Room are additional first floor bonuses. The Rear Porch, Patio and fenced Gardens allow for easy outdoor entertaining. Upstairs a compartmented Bath/Dressing Area, Walk-in Closet, Balcony access and bay window give the Primary Suite a sophisticated edge.

Sloped ceilings and hemlock accent walls and beams create an informal place for movie/game night.
