This beautifully maintained Queen Anne Victorian is just steps to historic downtown Flemington and offers a flexible and flowing floorplan on deep shady lot. A quintessential rocking chair front porch sets the stage for the grace and grandeur of a bygone era that has been preserved throughout the home. The deep wraparound porch has Brazilian Ipe wood floors and stairs, custom wrought iron railing, and 17 pillars. It is the perfect place to sit, enjoy a cup of tea, and watch the world go by. Walk through the cherrywood screen door and enter the foyer where you are greeted with period details such as geometrically designed hardwood floors, original woodwork, stained glass, and coffered ceilings. To the left, the parlor is a serene space filled with sunlight from many windows and featuring a period carved wood mantel. French doors lead into an elegant formal dining room with picture rails, bright windows, and a door to the wrap-around porch. Beyond the dining room is the ?informal dining room?, a great flex space that leads to the home office (or first floor bedroom) with private entry and fieldstone walk leading down to the street. It also connects to the kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances including 6 burner Wolf stove, farmhouse sink, back staircase, and access to the backyard via the mudroom. From the kitchen walk through the butler?s pantry, with Dacor convection oven and custom cabinets, into the cozy living room with abundant sunlight, French doors, and a charming powder room with stained glass window. Heading up the beautiful staircase past functioning stained glass windows you reach the second level where the hardwood floors and period details continue. The private quarters offer four generously sized bedrooms with ample windows, and two full baths including the main bath which has been beautifully renovated with cast-iron tub, intricately tiled and heated floor, and glass stall shower with rainfall shower head. The third floor offers abundant storage, with a full staircase and headroom this could be finished for additional living space. Basement provides laundry services, utility sink, dry storage, 2 furnaces, and stairs up to side yard. The deep shady yard has abundant space for outdoor dining on the bluestone patio, original garden shed, and a fieldstone walk leading to the original ?carriage lane? where you would pull in your horse and buggy. Find history, charm, and versatility just a short walk from Main Street.
