A meticulous renovation, history, and location are the pillars of this charming 3-bedroom, two full bath, circa 1830 brick house. Located a half mile from the heart of downtown with its dynamic shops and varied restaurants. A top-to-bottom renovation includes all new plumbing and electric, a new foundation under the kitchen and sunroom, new standing seam roof, added upstairs headroom and dormers, skylights- in the cathedral ceiling kitchen, solar panels, mini-splits to heat and cool, walk-in cedar lined closet, insulated walls, ceilings and basement. Private terrace, all new kitchen, bathrooms, and sunroom. The renovation took great care to honor numerous historic details throughout a series of stabilizations, highlights, and rebuilds. Notable: two working fireplaces with rebuilt chimneys, restored walk-in original pantry, exposed timber framework, removal of decades of lead paint from interior doors and trim (now finished in linseed oil) exposed and handsomely presented split lath in the dining and primary bedrooms, small sections of original wallpaper, reuse of lanterns handmade by a long term owner of the property. The list goes on and on! Whether for a primary residence or a second home, this house is a must-see for those who value historic preservation, all of the charm, PLUS the energy efficiency upgrades, top-notch trades work, and attention to detail. House will be shown by appt on Friday, June 24 11AM- 4PM, and Saturday, June 25th 11AM-4PM only. Do not miss this one!
