Original architectural details are beautifully preserved, creating a move-in ready home with a luxurious feel.
Pros & Cons

Income-Generating Potential: The property includes a valuable 3-bedroom, 1-bath attached unit with a private courtyard entrance, offering significant rental income or multi-generational living opportunities.
Historic Charm & Architectural Integrity: A well-preserved 1895 Queen Anne home retaining many original features such as impressive soaring ceilings, pocket doors, and gingerbread, providing unique character and historical value.
Expansive Lot & Ample Parking: Situated on a large 7,500 sq. ft. lot in a park-like setting with lush lawns, 5 off-street parking spaces, a long driveway, and dedicated RV parking.
Modern Gourmet Kitchen: The main home features a multi-purpose, modern kitchen equipped with high-end Thermador appliances, five workstations, a walk-in pantry, and a center island with an under-counter refrigerator.
Spacious & Versatile Living: A 3000 sq. ft. light-filled main home offering a formal entry, living room, sought-after family room, dining room, 4 bedrooms, and approximately 660 sq. ft. of useful attic space.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance: As an 1895 build, the property may incur higher ongoing maintenance costs and potential needs for updates to non-cosmetic systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as modernized.
Limited Main House Bathrooms: The 4-bedroom main home appears to have only one full bathroom upstairs and one half-bath downstairs, which might be inadequate for a large family or multiple residents.
Lack of Central Cooling System: The description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months, impacting comfort and potentially requiring future investment.
