This exquisite stone estate home is a true statement of masterful architecture. From the moment you arrive, prepare to be captivated by the wraparound veranda and private courtyard. Originally constructed in 1875, this limestone residence has been thoughtfully preserved by the continued pride of ownership, passed down from one family to the next. The inside is equally as breathtaking as the exterior. Inside, you are immediately greeted by an original wooden staircase, hardwood flooring and views of the adjacent living rooms. The formal living space has a beautifully restored gas fireplace, deep window sills, and striking chandeliers that bathe the room in a quiet kind of luxury. The adjacent seating room and dining room are separated by the original stone feature wall, adding depth and character. With seating for twelve, this grand dining room is designed for family dinners and entertaining guests. The stone wall continues into the kitchen, which is thoughtfully curated with granite slab counters, fresh white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Just off of this, enjoy seating for six in the casual dining room, framed by two charming built-in cabinets that add to the home's rich character. The second story is light and bright. Suspended ceilings, skylights, and a stunning floating staircase to the music loft create a breathtaking foyer to walk up to. The primary bedroom is one of three bedrooms and is framed by a stunning gas fireplace identical to the one downstairs; both have been professionally restored by Valor. The five-piece bathroom includes a statement claw-foot tub and glass shower. Hobbyists, artists, musicians, and families alike will truly appreciate the added space of a third-floor loft; this quaint room is hard not to fall in love with. Enjoy the added versatility of this home, which is zoned OR-1, allowing both office and residential uses. Every inch of 19 London Rd E has been renovated and preserved with the utmost attention to detail. (id:374)
