Classic Old North End home with delights around every corner and a unique floor plan makes a perfect destination for connoisseurs of vintage charm and sylvan living spaces. Like dropping a needle on a jazz record, like putting on your favorite sweater during the first cool fall evening, like the first sip of a glass of fine wine, this is a home to savor that is bathed in its own authenticity. Perfectly situated on a quiet side street west of Cascade Avenue and just a block to Monument Valley Park, the home makes a dramatic appearance from the moment you step inside, with a massive stone fireplace reaching to the vaulted, beamed ceiling. Curl up by a fire in the reading nook, or stretch out in the cozy living room with wood floors and wood windows. The whole home exudes a vibe of rustic freshness brought by new paint, refinished floors, new carpet, and updated kitchen and baths without sacrificing an ounce of its classic heritage. Enjoy the loft-like feel of the huge main-level bedroom that opens to a covered porch and zen-like walled garden. The light and bright kitchen features granite counters, a farmhouse sink, stainless-steel appliances, a wine fridge, breakfast bar and walk-in pantry. Upstairs, get your work done in the loft office with miles of built-in bookshelves while soaking in the architectural heft from soaring ceilings and the stone wall the fireplace creates. The upstairs bedroom feels like a retreat from yesteryear with low-slung beamed ceiling, massive walk-in closet and an (almost) en suite bath. Complete with a cute covered front porch and one-car garage perfect for storage, the home offers extra conveniences such as an upper-level laundry and mini-split AC that keeps the whole house cool to keep the vintage charm intact without sacrificing comfort and modern needs.
