Property Description

A rare blend of historic character and modern livability, this beautifully rebuilt Old Town residence offers generous living spaces, timeless architectural details, and exceptional opportunities for customization. Originally constructed in the late 1800s and thoughtfully rebuilt in 1986, the home honors its rich heritage while seamlessly balancing Old World charm with the comfort, privacy, and grandeur expected of a premier Old Town residence. A rare semi-detached offering in Old Town, the property boasts expansive outdoor living spaces and a dedicated parking space with direct access to the home. The main level is designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort, anchored by a beautifully updated eat-in kitchen featuring new countertops, a stylish backsplash, and new appliances. A formal dining room provides the perfect setting for hosting, while the expansive open-concept living room offers multiple seating areas centered around a wood-burning fireplace. Three separate access points to the yard create exceptional indoor-outdoor flow, making al fresco dining and entertaining effortless. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, a separate dressing room, and an ensuite bath. The generous footprint offers outstanding potential to create a spa-inspired sanctuary with an expanded walk-in closet. An upper-level laundry room provides a level of convenience rarely found in historic homes. The unfinished basement features multiple windows and generous ceiling height, presenting an exceptional opportunity to expand the home's living space with a recreation room, guest suite, fitness studio, wine cellar, or other custom amenities. Ideally situated just moments from King Street’s renowned boutiques, restaurants, and waterfront, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy premier Old Town living with the added luxuries of space, privacy, dedicated parking, and the ability to create a truly one-of-a-kind residence.
