This circa 1902 home is iconic, with original architectural detail carefully preserved and showcased throughout. Elegant, sun-filled interiors have soaring ceilings, expansive windows and exceptional craftsmanship found in signature homes of this era. 3 finished levels include a main floor flow ideal for entertaining. The center of all things social, the bright eat-in kitchen opens to the south-facing family room with wood stove and direct access via slider to the yard. At the opposite end of the kitchen is the formal dining room with French doors that welcome the fresh air via the screened porch, and the formal living room with wood-burning fireplace and additional access to the porch. The turned staircase, with back stairs to the kitchen, leads to the second floor. 4 oversized bedrooms and full bath, includes a primary suite w bath. An enclosed staircase leads to the 3rd floor with 2 more rooms and a half bath. Original hardwood floors throughout are in exceptional condition. A deep, covered screen porch runs the length of the house and around the corner. The detached garage with an opportunity above for au-pair or in-law; currently equipped with kitchen and bath, this charming 2-room suite would need some attention. This magnificent coastal landmark property sits proudly on over half an acre of land.
