This classic Victorian house radiates charm and elegant comfort.  The landscaped front yard and porch link the tree-lined street to the house, filled with period features.  
Enter the front vestibule with original ceramic tile floor, which in turn opens into the oak-lined foyer.  A beautiful stairway and banister, and several stained glass windows, and a built-in oak bench provide a warm welcome. 
First floor:  The foyer connects to the formal dining room and to the double living room, with a gas fireplace and original oak mantle at one end, and a pot-bellied, wood-burning stove at the other.  Light spills in through 5 LR windows: 3 bay windows face west, 2 other windows face south.  Pocket doors separate the living room from the oak paneled formal dining room.  A second original gas fireplace with an oak mantle, angled at one end of the FDR, adds style and warmth.  Stained glass windows and an original plate shelf further enhance the room's charm and beauty.   Cove moldings in the LR, FDR, and foyer unify the space. 
The kitchen has 8 windows and 3 exposures!   The light is exceptional, and the connection to the landscaped back yard is magical.  Weeping cherry, lilacs, dogwood, and Japanese Maple are just a few of the plants that you'll see blossom through the kitchen windows.  The kitchen boasts a stainless steel stove and dishwasher, and a Subzero fridge.  A half bath completes the first floor.
Ascend the beautiful stairway with its angled stained glass window on the landing.  
Second Floor: Four bedrooms on the second floor (3 with two exposures) provide more light than the typical Victorian.  Even the bathroom has a large window and beautiful view!  Original doors and antique hardware sustain the authentic and graceful feel of the house.  
Third floor:  A large open space with a sizeable adjacent, windowed room, equipped with plumbing, follows the roof lines. Use it for a large, loft-like bedroom, or make it your master suite. 
Driveway, garage & full basement.
