290 HARBOR ST

Here is your opportunity to own a piece of history in Old Town Florence. This impeccably restored 1894 cottage has been the talk of the town, thoughtfully remodeled over an extensive year-and-a-half renovation that has just been completed. Originally a 3 bed, 1 bath home, it is now a well-designed 3 bed, 2 bath residence after removing an inadequate bedroom and adding a proper third bedroom and bath. A new 2 car garage was added with an overhead 2 bed, 1 bath apartment/ADU connected by a breezeway. The garage features an automatic roll-up door, epoxied floors, and steel cabinets. The ADU has its own entrance and separate electric meter, making it ideal for income generation. No expense was spared, with hardwood floors, custom knotty alder cabinetry, knotty alder interior and exterior doors, and granite and marble countertops throughout. Both the main home and ADU have whole house ducted heating and air conditioning. Heated tile floors were installed in the primary bedroom and ADU bathroom. A complete alarm and camera system is included. Landscaping is professionally installed hardscape with drip irrigation and minimal maintenance. The backyard offers approximately 4,000 sq ft of usable space with RV hookups. New 3.5” paving and sidewalks were installed. Historic charm shines through with wainscoting-style shingled siding, a false dormer, cedar porch ceilings, corbels, river rock stonework, and keystone block planters. New windows, hardwood doors, and appliances were installed throughout both units. The backyard includes 33 arborvitae trees for privacy, compacted rock parking with stabilization fabric, and new fencing. The home may also be purchased fully furnished, making it truly move-in or rental ready. This is essentially a brand-new custom home that preserves its 1894 character while offering all modern conveniences.
