Built in 1903, the house has a façade that is a fusion of architectural influences: The 3rd flooring has a few dormers, the central and largest of which is in the Dutch Revival model. And instantly down two stories from that dormer are a pair of Tuscan columns that keep sentry on the front porch and shelter a entrance door topped by a pediment. Flanking the dwelling, in great symmetry, are a 3-time porch and a porte cochère, each framed with white railings. And the complete home is encased in cedar shingles, evocative of a Nantucket cottage and identified to stand up to life on the New England coast.
The inside has undergone a revamping just lately. To the still left off the entrance doorway is the to start with of the home’s four bedrooms, but this 1 is serving as a sitting area/library. Becoming in a prime location on the corner, it delivers home windows on two partitions. In this article, as is the circumstance in the course of the dwelling, the flooring is a combine of hardwood and planked pine and has been refinished.
To the proper off the entrance are merged residing and loved ones rooms anchored by a crimson brick hearth (supplied its dimension, this is the suitable verb) that looks a little something like a ziggurat as it rises toward the ceiling. The beams of the coffered ceiling are hefty and white, and all-natural light arrives through a pair of home windows and French doors to the three-period porch. In this expansive space (the grand piano in the corner appears to be lonely), the sole heat source is a pink brick hearth, the sibling of the a person on the other aspect of the wall. This one has the same heft but it is not as remarkable. Two ceiling fans will guarantee a pleasant breeze in the summertime, and the area is lined with white-framed windows that give a seem at the front lawn of the 1.64-acre parcel.
There are two vital rooms left on this stage: the comprehensive bath and the kitchen area. In the previous, black ceramic tile lines the flooring and the shower pan. In a pleasing contrast, the shower surround is white subway tile, and the solitary vanity is topped with quartz.

The appliances, which includes a double-vast fridge and stacked ovens, are stainless metal. The cupboards are white with raised-panel doorways. Recessed lighting, three pendant lights with bulbous world shades, and home windows with wooden shutters convey light to the room. A door leads to the backyard.
The next flooring holds a few bedrooms and a total tub. The latter offers a double vanity with an antique visual appeal and a quartz counter that has an extension for folding the clothing pulled from the washer and dryer nearby. Other highlights involve a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower with a subway tile surround and a black ceramic tile floor. The flooring in the relaxation of the tub is also black ceramic tile, but white subway tile rises halfway up the walls.
The operator bedroom features a customized wander-in closet, a ceiling admirer, skinny crown molding, four windows, and ample space for a king-sized mattress, a really like seat, and two chairs (247 sq. toes). Of the other two bedrooms, the greater arrives with double closets and three home windows. The smaller sized bedroom is established up as an workplace.
The 3rd floor (try to remember those dormers?) is composed of four rooms and was lately plumbed for heat.
