Step into the charm of a bygone era with this unique yet classic early 20th century ARTIST’S DREAM, blending timeless craftsmanship with eclectic flair. From the welcoming front porch to the charming wood-burning fireplace, every detail tells a story. I think you will agree that the vintage character & thoughtful design together make this property quite special. You will fall in love with all of carefully curated details, such as leaded & stained glass windows, EXQUISITE Rochester-style, hand-hammered flooring, a handy butler’s pantry, tin ceilings, classic trim work & stunning light fixtures.
As you enter the foyer, you will immediately be drawn into the living room, where you will no doubt want to linger. Passing through the formal dining room, you will surely envision how many fabulous dinners took place there over the decades. The rear hallway takes you though the butler’s pantry where you will also see a special surprise… A FULL MAIN LEVEL BATHROOM with the most gorgeous clay tile floors.
The SPACIOUS eat-in kitchen opens to a delightfully sunny morning room with a walkout to the fenced backyard oasis that feels like a private retreat. There you will find a heated in-ground pool surrounded by blooming wisteria vines & other lush perennials, a freshly power-washed paver patio and an intimate seating nook for dinners al fresco. It is the perfect spot to relax, create or entertain. With virtually nothing to mow, your landscaping tools can all be garden-sized. The roomy 2-car garage is just the cherry on the sundae.
On the 2nd floor, you will find ANOTHER FULL BATH with tub and FOUR beautifully appointed bedrooms. One of the rooms is the PERFECT YOGA STUDIO with the addition of a balance bar, and another has been utilized as a cozy office, with the closet serving as a desk nook. But it gets even better… The 3rd FLOOR is finished and functioning as the most amazing ART STUDIO.
This one-of-a-kind, distinctive home is ideal for the person who appreciates originality, soul and a touch of magic. It is bursting with personality, charm and creative spirit… and it is waiting to begin its next chapter with its new special owner.
