Stunning detached home in the heart of Old Town! Renovated from top to bottom with no detail overlooked perfectly combining the charm of the 1800's with the function of the 21st century.

Beyond those, the parlour boasts original heart of pine floors, 9' ceilings, huge windows, built-in shelving and fireplace with original mantel and new slate surround. A half bath with designer tile and custom granite sink design, along with coat closet were added where the hallway previously led to the dining room. Leaving the parlour through the new opening, you enter the dining room which also has original pine floors, oversize windows, second fireplace and newly installed Federal-style antique chandelier. From the dining room you will enter the breathtaking chef's envy kitchen. Huge 4x8 island is a rare find in old town. Includes seating, additional storage and a beverage/sous chef prep sink. Built-in beverage center, Jenn Air appliances with commercial grade gas range and industrial exhaust hood, copper hardware and accents, stunning Quartzite (real stone) counters and radiant heat slate flooring are just a few of the upgraded details that make this kitchen spectacular.
