Description

Step inside one of Old Town’s most charming Painted Ladies, a 1900 Victorian that still carries its original soul, but lives perfectly for today. High ceilings, classic millwork, cylinder glass windows, and solid wood doors with exquisitely detailed brass hardware set the tone from the moment you step through the front hall. A graceful hallway links the front parlor to the dining room, complete with a coat closet and picture molding, offering that rare combination of historic character and real functionality.Toward the back of the home, the layout opens into your everyday spaces: an eat-in area (or den) anchored by a double-sided fireplace, flowing into a family room with tall ceilings and custom built-ins. The kitchen is bright and inviting, featuring a generous amount of storage, including a pantry cabinet, expansive Quartz countertop space, and Sub-Zero fridge. A skylit side hall creates easy circular flow, and the main level powder room is tucked just around the corner.The showstopper is the screened-in porch with soaring 13' ceilings, detailed woodwork, mahogany flooring, and beadboard ceiling with fan for warm evenings. Step down to a brick patio framed by planters with a back gate leading to the alley, ideal for easy bike access.Upstairs, natural light pours down the beautiful hallway skylight and into all three bedrooms. The primary suite is generous and practical with two walls of closets (both built-ins and full closets), room for a king bed, and a private deck overlooking the quiet, landscaped garden. The en-suite bath offers dual sinks and a serene feel that matches the rest of the home, plus a clever laundry chute. A built-in desk area with shelving makes remote work easy without sacrificing bedroom space, or turn this room into a dressing area. Storage is a standout theme - rare for historic Old Town homes - and continues into the lower level den, including a full wall of hidden storage behind custom cabinet doors, plus laundry, utility sink, and cedar closet (in which the sellers were told plumbing exists if someone wanted to finish a bath). The crawlspace has a vapor barrier and is used confidently for storage. Both fireplaces are known to be working but convey as-is.
