Carved Mantels & Modern Mechanics
This turn-of-the-century residence stands as a testament to the transition between Victorian ornamentation and 20th-century solidity. The interior is defined immediately by its joinery: a stunning arched entry frames the main staircase, a specific architectural flourish that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The front parlor retains its original unpainted woodwork and is anchored by an ornate, carved wood-mantled fireplace—the undisputed focal point of the living volume.
For the purist, the functional details remain intact. Working pocket doors allow for the traditional separation of rooms, and original beveled glass windows preserve the historic light quality. The layout respects the service logic of the era, featuring a butler’s pantry connecting the formal dining room to the eat-in kitchen. Upstairs, the primary chamber includes a rare amenity for this vintage: a private attached balcony and a substantial walk-in closet.
Crucially, the “heavy lifting” of old home ownership has been addressed. The current stewardship has executed a comprehensive systems overhaul, including a new roof (2018), and a complete replacement of electrical, plumbing, and majority ceilings/floors in 2019. Central air adds modern habitability to a historic shell. Sited on a half-acre double lot with an established orchard of 11 fruit trees (apple, plum, peach, pear), this property offers the material warmth of 1900 with the mechanical reliability of 2019.
