Featured in 2008 -- NOT in 2009 HOUSEWALK
What a treat it will be to tour this lovely 1852 Italianate home nestled at the top of a hill
and hidden from the view of most who pass by.
This home features many historic details such as functioning exterior gas lights, a grand curved front staircase with coffin turn, built in bookcases and hutches, period moldings and wall papers and small nooks and crannies. The interior is tastefully decorated in an Old World Italian theme, including an Italian inspired gourmet kitchen and a mural on the dining room wall. The current homeowners have further enhanced the lovely interior by installing custom window treatments and remodeling one of several bathrooms.
This home will host a grand Thanksgiving celebration which will be displayed in the dining room, kitchen and breakfast nook. Local designers will provide additional decorative touches and enhancements to this well appointed home,
making it a tour you will not want to miss.
Not be outdone by the interior, this home’s landscaping demonstrates how old and new can be mixed together with wonderful results. The front walk, paved in old street brick, appears Old World while the back patio, tiled in slate, has a more contemporary feel. The landscaping will be further embellished by a local designer and merchant.
Behind the main house is a small circa 1895 Anglo-Japanese home that is rumored to have been a playhouse. Whatever the historical function, the current homeowners use the little home as a men’s retreat.
