C. 1864 and it feels like Tuscany! This is a miniature Italianate Villa with Victoriana throughout. A GEM and a rare property. Owned for 46 years by an artist and an architect. They have brought back the original features, and kept working over time, to make it the house it was, when it was originally built. They bought it when they walked into the living room, 46 years ago! Never even went upstairs. 2010 Gas $2713, Electric $692, water $557. See trend documents for wonderful background information. Many many systems upgraded over the years but the old world charm and older kitchen and baths maintain the original old fashioned "yesteryear" lifestyle. Many plantings surround the entire property.
