On St. John Street, just steps from the Jamaica Pond boat house, find this fanciful and ornate 11-Room Victorian that will fulfill your dreams! The exterior is a symphony of lovely lines and playful touches – a gracious sitting porch offers summer breezes and a second floor porch overlooks the flowering gardens.
The interior with 6 generous Bedrooms and 2 Baths is full of original details: natural woodwork includes the broad staircase flying up and around three floors, French doors, stained glass, decorative fireplace mantels with dragons and florets, ceiling medallions, parquet and hardwood floors with ebony inlay. Legend has it that the house was originally built and owned by a piano maker who loved to entertain, hence the unusual cove ceilings on the first floor.
The Foyer is your entrée to these rooms from a romantic era long past, creating abundant choices for living, working and entertaining: the Library with its bow windows and curved wall, a formal Dining Room with fireplace & large Living Room with a bay window. Like so many rooms in this home, the expansive country Kitchen is a gathering place for family and friends. The gardens and fenced yard are lush with plantings and flowers including climbing hydrangea, peony, iris and rhododendron. The garage and driveway offer 2-car parking.
A treasure and a rare beauty! |
