Storybook charm and elegance are uniquely combined to make this home totally irresistible! Built around 1890, this house is nestled toward the back of a very large landscaped lot in a lovely part of town. The owners have updated it but have managed to maintain all of the wonderful features that give it the appeal of a vintage cottage. A huge wraparound porch offers a respite for rocking and swinging the hours away. The beautiful windows throughout are a standout and offer tons of natural light. High ceilings and lovely moldings are in all of the rooms. The living room has a gas log fireplace with a new mantle with Travertine marble surround. The kitchen has been updated with all new stainless appliances, including a gas stove. Part of the cabinetry in the kitchen is original and looks like an antique piece. The handpainted Delft-style ceramic tiles depict pictures of the home and the homeowner's pets. All three bedrooms are large and beautiful. The custom draperies in the bedrooms convey. The washer and dryer are conveniently located in the master walk-in closet. In the rear, there is a lovely deck with a pergola. A detached double carport has two large storage rooms as well as pull-down stairs to a storage area above. A quaint little separate building makes a perfect office, studio or playhouse.
