On charming Farragut Terrace, this meticulously maintained and totally modernized Victorian twin combines timeless elegance with contemporary luxury. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully restored and preserved, showcasing its original charm and character. All the systems have been replaced - modern wiring, plumbing, HVAC with high velocity AC, copper roofing panels and new wooden windows make this incredible home a once-in-a-lifetime treasure.
As you step through the front door, you are greeted by the original tiled vestibule, adorned with intricate mill work, a testament to the craftsmanship of the era.
The living area is a harmonious blend of classic Victorian design and modern amenities. Sunlight dances through large windows, casting a warm glow upon the rich hardwood floors and built-in bookshelves. The living room connects to the kitchen through historically restored pocket doors for flexible hosting options - perfect for memorable dinner parties and intimate meals with loved ones.
The heart of this home lies in its open chef's kitchen, which has been thoughtfully updated with copper tub sink and hood system, top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and soapstone island that will serve as a central gathering place for your family and friends. Whether you're a culinary enthusiast or enjoy a casual breakfast, this kitchen will exceed all expectations.
Outside, the back patio offers a private sanctuary for outdoor gatherings or a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. An idyllic setting for summer barbecues or simply enjoying your morning coffee.
Retreat to the second level, where three generous bedrooms (laundry area in rear bedroom) and a renovated full bathroom await. Three additional spacious bedrooms and renovated full bath on the third story provide versatility and comfort for family members or guests.
Both bathrooms both have heated floors and amazing showers.
