About this home

For the discerning buyer, this architecturally exquisite home was custom-built in the 1880s and has been custom renovated to preserve and celebrate its late Aesthetic and early Craftsman heritage. From soaring coffered ceilings and intricate paneling to custom fireplaces, original built-ins, stained glass and exquisite spandrel fretwork, every room reveals craftsmanship rarely found in today’s homes. The stunning kitchen exemplifies modern functionality, offering abundant custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, an oversized island and an externally vented induction cooktop. French doors open directly to the mahogany deck, creating an effortless connection to the outdoors—perfect for morning coffee, al fresco dining or relaxing at the end of the day. The dining room is a true showpiece, wrapped in intricate spandrel fretwork and anchored by original built-ins and a custom fireplace. The oversized living room is equally impressive, with coffered ceilings, custom fireplace, stained glass and a distinctive round nook that invites chess, checkers or intimate conversation. Custom paneling frames the regal staircase to the 2nd floor, where 4 bedrooms await. The newly crafted primary suite features multiple closets, a dedicated dressing room and ensuite bath. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms offer their own charm, while the 4th bedroom provides flexibility as a home office, nursery or guest room. For the adventurous, climb the steep stairs to the top floor and discover a huge lounge and bonus 5th bedroom with vaulted ceilings and skylights—an ideal retreat for getting away from it all. Double sized lot offers a large, lush front lawn, rear patio and mahogany deck that create a private, inviting outdoor setting. A dual-access driveway enters from Brown Ave and exits onto Ada St, while the custom shed provides easy storage or flex space. The large unfinished basement also offers loads of clean storage space. Infrastructure and major systems have been comprehensively updated, including electrical, plumbing, windows, kitchen, baths, roof, exterior, decks, and landscaping—allowing the next owner to enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship of a historic home with the confidence of modern updates. More than a residence, this is a remarkable piece of architectural history—thoughtfully preserved, beautifully renewed, and truly distinctive.
