Slow mornings, open spaces, and evenings that naturally end outdoors - this is the lifestyle waiting for you. Seize the rare opportunity to enjoy a city address with a suburban feel, perched atop the sought-after Longwood Drive hilltop and surrounded by an expansive front yard offering the privacy you desire. This beautifully restored circa 1875 farmhouse features 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, thoughtfully renovated by a master carpenter who honored the home's rich history while seamlessly incorporating modern updates. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the intentional design and functionality, including a custom entry wall with built-in cubbies, hooks, and pantry storage - ensuring everything has its place. The updated kitchen, complete with ceramic textured flooring and custom cabinetry, blends seamlessly with the home's historic character. Just off the kitchen, a renovated 3/4 bath features decorative shower tile and towel warmers, adding a touch of everyday luxury. Original character shines throughout with preserved details including vintage chandeliers, the original entry door, parlor sconces, rich hardwood flooring, and impressive 10.5-inch trim. Filled with natural light, the expansive living room highlights original floor-to-ceiling windows with an iconic view, a tin ceiling, a vintage chandelier and flows into the formal dining room and sunroom - an ideal setting for a home office, reading nook, or flexible living space. A highly sought after first floor bedroom with ensuite bath offers convenience and privacy, showcasing period tile work that speaks to the home's history. The front parlor has been thoughtfully reimagined as a cozy family room with a restored wood-burning fireplace and elegant soapstone mantle, creating the perfect gathering space. Off the family room a screened-in porch with stunning etched glass panels, is an ideal setting to enjoy each season. It's an ever-evolving backdrop where nature truly abounds on this private lot. The upper level offers three bedrooms with incredible flexibility. The largest bedroom is ideal for an in-law suite with two expansive rooms or even a home-based business. Just steps away, a generously sized laundry room provides additional opportunity, with room to potentially add a kitchenette. The full bath includes a charming clawfoot tub, while a second staircase with direct access to the rear entrance provides an added convenience. Offering a rare sense of privacy and a deep appreciation for its historic roots, this one-of-a-kind residence seamlessly blends timeless character with modern living - a true gem that stands apart from the rest.
