Property Description
This charming and well-maintained 1884 Queen Anne Victorian home is a rare treasure, lovingly restored, updated, and occupied by the current owner for over 52 years. The original structure has been preserved with care, while thoughtful additions and restorations over the decades have enhanced its livability without compromising its historic character. In 1984, a custom-designed addition with a spacious, vaulted-ceiling kitchen, two additional bathrooms, a laundry area, and a new rear porch was seamlessly integrated into the existing home. In 1996, the owners purchased an adjoining parcel with an older home, which they retrofitted into a secure, three-bay garage with concrete floor, storage, and overhead doors. The home has private driveway access via the garage parcel off William Street, allowing for rear-yard parking in addition to Chavasse on-street. Every element of the home's restoration has been executed with incredible attention to detail, using original materials whenever possible. All 1884 windows were carefully re-strung, layers of old wallpaper removed, and the new addition was constructed with hand-plastered walls and ceilings to match the original construction. Doors in the new wing were handcrafted to reflect the style of the original 19th-century woodwork, and six fireplaces were restored to their original designs, with historically accurate mantels—each one researched and custom-made. The grounds are equally remarkable and home to three rescued historic structures from the Henderson area, each carefully relocated to the property in the late 20th century. If you appreciate the elegance of the past and the craftsmanship of historic preservation, don't miss this opportunity to own a historic treasure.
