Welcome to this absolutely Enchanting Stone Victorian Twin—a one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 2-bath beauty bursting with character, space and stylish upgrades! This timeless gem perfectly blends old-world elegance with today’s modern conveniences. Step up to the covered front porch, where the original restored front door sets the tone for what’s inside. As you enter the impressive foyer, you’re greeted by amazing woodwork & hardwood floors that flow throughout, tall ceilings, and spectacular double pocket doors that lead into a sunny living room with ceiling fan. Two built-in shelving units add function & flair and frame your way into the spacious formal dining room, complete with a quaint gas fireplace—a spacious and elegant space perfect for hosting. * Note- the walk thru closet to the main foyer. The beautifully updated eat-in kitchen features two-toned soft-close cabinetry (some custom-made), SS appliances, Corian countertops, a corner sink, built-in shelving, recessed lighting, & a ceiling fan. There’s even a back staircase that leads to the upper levels as well as access to the basement stairs. Upstairs, the second floor offers a large main bedroom with a ceiling fan and interior access to an expansive hall bathroom with a charming clawfoot tub/shower, a pedestal sink and double-wide closet. Just outside, unwind in the sitting area with a faux fireplace—the perfect reading nook. A second spacious bedroom rounds out this level. The third floor is a dream! A private suite includes a bedroom with a mini kitchenette, a full bath with stall shower, and access to your very own roof deck—installed in 2015 with fiberglass roofing, PVC railings and siding, it’s the ideal spot for morning coffee or evening stargazing.

Downstairs, the basement was dug out for better headroom and features epoxy flooring, a French drain (2015), and a separate room- already plumbed (for sewer) for a third full bathroom! There's plenty of room for storage, laundry, and even a workshop. Outside access leads to a lovely private fenced backyard with a brick paver patio & access to the driveway & detached oversized 1-car garage—complete with skylights and side-by-side doors with opener.
