Presiding from its corner perch high above the street, this downtown compound commands attention. From the antique knee wall with the cannon ball gate to the detail on the facade, gardens on three sides and a separate cottage plus carriage house - this is a rare find. A classic screened porch leads to the 1,405SF main house where you'll find an unexpectedly versatile floorplan you can tailor to your lifestyle. Living and dining rooms open to each other with sunlight streaming in from the alcove. Tucked away on the south side the master's quarters offer a generous bedroom, sitting room/office (or 3rd bedroom) and a stunning modern bath clad in Travertine, glass and espresso cabinetry. Very private, this suite overlooks the courtyard - a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The formal dining room leads to the heart of the house where kitchen, casual dining and gathering room come together to create the center of activity. A clerestory ceiling streams light in from overhead and the lofty height makes the room feel even larger. Cleverly designed, the kitchen is open but the work areas are out of sight so you can cook with abandon and still be engaged with your guests as they move easily from the house to the gardens. Antiqued patina cabinets complement the stainless appliances, granite counters and subway tile. A 2nd bedroom is adjacent to the 2nd bath. A sunny room with a walk-in closet, there's a doorway to a private greenspace. Separately metered, the 479SF 1BR/1BA cottage makes for a great guesthouse or income generator and has been perpetually rented. With a large common room, galley kitchen, full bath and bedroom, it's ideal for long visits, short or long-term rentals and there's a separate outdoor area for a future patio. The carriage house has as much character as the residences and affords you a studio, workshop, storage and with a little effort, a home for your car. A slice of paradise just 7 blocks from the center of town, we'll be waiting on the porch.
