Listing broker remarks

This stunning one of a kind Queen Anne Victorian home is dripping in elegance & extraordinary original historic detail. From the moment you step onto the wrap around front porch, you know you are somewhere special. Each room reveals something to linger over. Stained glass windows, pocket doors that still glide, gas fireplace mantels framed in delft like tile, distinctive wall coverings, a curved wood entryway, and millwork so meticulous you find yourself running a hand along it without meaning to. Nearly 4,000 square feet, 5/6 spacious bedrooms, 3 full tiled baths and a half. The charm is irreplaceable, the condition exceptional, the character breathtaking. This home was lovingly maintained and it shows in every detail. The light filled kitchen with updated appliances opens to a deck overlooking a large, flat yard framed by mature plantings. Partially finished basement, two-car garage in a coveted location steps from the public library, town pool,schools, shops & public transportation.— Compass
