Property Description
This exceptional historic residence blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, creating a home of rare elegance and substance. The exterior showcases beautifully preserved brick walls, rich with history and craftsmanship, offering both durability and classic architectural appeal. Inside, the home opens to an old-style distribution that emphasizes defined, generous rooms rather than open-plan spaces, preserving the dignity and charm of a bygone era. Granite floors run throughout the interior, providing a sense of solidity and refined luxury, while solid wood doors, beams, and built-ins add warmth and authenticity. One of the home’s most striking features is its amazing library—a stately, light-filled space with custom wood shelving, perfect for quiet study, reflection, or entertaining guests in an intimate, cultured setting. The residence has been carefully renovated to meet modern expectations without sacrificing its historical soul.
