Open House Sunday 9/7 11-1 pm. Step into the pages of history with this majestic brick Victorian, built in 1860 and lovingly preserved on an expansive .87-acre lot stretching block to block. From the moment you arrive, the home's soaring rooflines, intricate woodwork, and sweeping wrap-around porch overlooking Guy Park avenue promise something extraordinary within. Inside, the grand foyer sets the tone with richly carved wood details and exquisite period lighting that bathes the space in a warm glow. The living room, anchored by a massive fireplace with an ornate mantle, invites gatherings both intimate and grand. The formal dining room, with double French doors leading to a private covered patio, blends indoor elegance with outdoor serenity—perfect for summer evenings under the stars. The kitchen combines charm and function with a window bench seat offering a cozy spot for morning coffee, while the mudroom adds practical convenience. Upstairs, discover four spacious bedrooms filled with light from stained glass and leaded windows, plus two full baths featuring period details rarely seen today. A third-floor attic stretches wide and tall, a blank canvas awaiting your vision—imagine a private artist's studio, a library hideaway, or a sunlit office retreat. Outside, lush, manicured gardens, mature trees, and open green space offer a peaceful escape, while the 3+ car carriage barn with a full loft provides endless possibilities for workshops, storage, or future expansion. With hardwood floors gleaming underfoot, custom built-ins, and original details at every turn, this remarkable home is more than a residence—it's a living work of art, ready to welcome its next chapter.
