Discover the timeless elegance of this beautifully restored four-bedroom home in historic Sherman Hill. Meticulously preserved, this exceptional residence blends original character with refined modern living. A welcoming wrap-around porch leads to gold-leaf-accented double doors with etched glass. Inside, a stunning staircase and original hardwood floors lead to two elegant parlors and a formal dining room, each enhanced by stone fireplaces, ornate overmantel mirrors, vintage chandeliers, painted stenciling, and intricate wood moldings. Soaring windows fill the home with natural light, while the first-floor library adds another layer of charm. The custom-designed kitchen features the original pantry and dining-room pass-through, complemented by a beautifully appointed half bath. Upstairs, the spacious two-room primary suite includes a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. Three additional bedrooms feature generous proportions and tall ceilings, with a second custom-designed bath. Outside, three parcels create more than a half-acre setting with beautiful landscaping, a pond, patio, distinctive egg-shaped cairn, and inviting back porch. A truly special Sherman Hill residence where history, craftsmanship, and character come together beautifully. Schedule your private tour and experience it for yourself.
