Artist's romantic 1893 Queen Ann Victorian home shows off the delightful architecture of the era, both grand and fanciful. The cathedral ceilinged foyer opens to a sweeping staircase wall lined with stained glass windows; French Doors lead to a light filled double parlor with bay windows & a pristine fireplace. From the rear of the foyer is the formal dining room featuring a wall of tall bay windows with window seat. A vintage hanging lighting fixture reflects over the formal fireplace. The large eat in kitchen is well equipped with recent appliances and extra service sink for casual entertaining with space for a large table. A broad covered porch overlooks a deep rear property. The second floor oversized Master Bedroom/sitting room with decorative fireplace is framed by tall windows. Three other bedrooms, two bathrooms terminate in a four season porch in the Victorian style. Third floor two bedrooms provide privacy sinks and a shared separate toilet room.
