Ideally located in the desirable Stonebridge neighborhood, the property offers many options to meet varied needs. Live in a three bedroom restored Victorian and have an apartment space for extra income or to meet the needs of family or friends. This 1890 home blends well preserved historic character with modern conveniences and an open, flexible layout. Enter the main house from the water view front porch to a formal sitting room which flows into an open family room with cozy gas fireplace and chef's kitchen. The beautiful kitchen features custom inset cabinetry and honed granite counters as well as a handy pantry. The back hall offers easy access to a shady patio garden area from which to enjoy the nearly half acre of lush grounds. A full bathroom and bedroom complete the first floor. The period front staircase leads to the primary suite which encompasses the second floor. The sunny primary bedroom offers plenty of closet space and a modern adjacent full bathroom including washer and dryer. The third floor offers another ensuite bedroom with adjacent office or seating area. The legal one bedroom apartment occupies a portion of the second floor, accessed by its own exterior, private entry. The apartment is configured such that it could easily be incorporated back into the second floor for additional living space.
