This1870 home was actually cited as a ?significant? contributor to the creation of the Penns Park VillageHistoric District. The Victorian front was added to a one-room-up-and-one down structure that isrumored to have been a carpenter?s shop. A modern kitchen addition completes the house. The house alsoserved as the manse for the church across the street in the early 1900?s. The house is set in well-maintained perennial gardens. Some of its fine attributes include: random pumpkin pine floorscomplemented with long board, red oak floors; airy 9-foot ceilings; a wide window seat with cedarstorage; cupboards built into the massive native stone fireplace; and an upstairs Victorian-era non-working fireplace front. You enter this 3-bedroom house through a double set of French doors into a hallwith wainscoting that extends to the hearth room and kitchen area, with a view of the back garden through floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen has extensive storage, Shaker style maple cabinets, and a Kitchen Aid cook?s gas stove with 5 burners and two ovens with a high-powered Kitchen Aid range hood. The house is well laid out for entertaining or cozy family meals. The cook has site lines into the hearth room and outside to the three garden entertaining areas. The eat-in hearth room is dominated by the huge stone fireplace with expansive views of garden and kitchen. The adjacent dining room and a large powder room complete that side of the house. The large living room features a built-in media closet and a unique floor-to-ceiling, glass-backed bookcase. The second-floor family bath has a spa-like, extra-wide soaking tub and open shower. The main bedroom has a wall of closets and a sitting area. The large 2nd bedroom has an exposed beam ceiling. The 3rd bedroom is next to the large landing with window seat. The side entrance to the house leads you into a vaulted ceilinged mudroom that could also serve as an office area with its three floor-to-ceiling windows.
