Property Description
This charming three-story Queen Anne Victorian home, built in 1910, exudes timeless elegance and warmth. Nestled on a rare quarter-acre corner lot, the property features a beautifully maintained lawn, mature trees, and lush landscaping. The private backyard, with its serene stone patio and garden, is an ideal retreat for relaxation or outdoor entertaining.
Step inside to discover soaring ceilings and exquisite heart-of-pine hardwood floors throughout. Old-world craftsmanship shines through in the grand two-story foyer, with its elegant, winding staircase, antique hand-carved newel posts, stained-glass windows, built-in display case, and bookshelves. A cozy wood-burning fireplace adds character and warmth to the space.
The spacious, light-filled living room offers custom built-in bookcases and a striking stone fireplace. It flows seamlessly into the recently updated kitchen and sunny breakfast nook. From the living room, step out onto the screened-in porch, which boasts mahogany hardwood floors—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or evening breeze.
Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, each filled with natural light, and two beautifully appointed full bathrooms. The master suite is a true sanctuary, with vaulted ceilings, an outdoor sitting area, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom featuring a clawfoot soaking tub and a large walk-in shower.
The third floor offers a spacious bedroom with a recently renovated full bath, a cedar closet, and ample storage space, ideal for guests or a private retreat.
This home has seen significant updates over the years, including major renovations in 2015 that added nearly 1,000 square feet to the primary suite and kitchen/living area, as well as updates to the HVAC system. In 2016, two off-street parking spots were added, and the front porch was entirely rebuilt with beautiful mahogany floors.
Recent updates in 2025 include refinished floors throughout, kitchen enhancements, and a completely renovated third-floor bathroom.
Other notable features include:
An in-ground, automated irrigation system
New AC units for year-round comfort
A new 75-gallon hot water heater (say goodbye to running out of hot water!)
A newly added bedroom/office space off the master suite
A new wood-burning fireplace liner
Walking distance to King St. and Braddock Rd. metro stations
With its perfect blend of historic charm and modern updates, this home is truly a one-of-a-kind gem.
